He breathed a sigh of relaxation when Instagram introduced back its Reels feature. Riteish with his funny gang has been making a lot of funny videos with his wife, actor Genelia D’Souza.
Riteish shared that he and his wife Genelia started making videos during the Covid-19 lockdown last year to lighten everyone’s mood as they were going through a grim time. Their posts soon became an internet sensation among their fans
In an interview, Riteish said- “It started during the lockdown and it was a time when everyone went through tough times and we thought, ‘Let’s give them a reason to smile,’ and we started cracking jokes at our own expense and people started enjoying it. So that one led to another and I think it's fun to bring a smile to someone’s face, a happy moment in their life.”
He continued and laughed - “I started with TikTok and when they banned TikTok, I was momentarily unemployed. I thought, ‘Oh God, abhi kya karoon main? Jo kaam tha woh toh chala gaya.’ Reels aa gaya, maine kaha, ‘Chalo, Reels hi sahi’ (I thought, ‘Oh God, what do I do now? I have no work anymore.’ When Reels was introduced, I was glad.
Riteish and Genelia marked their presence as the hosts of the second season of Ladies Vs Gentlemen, which is presently streaming on Flipkart Video.
