Did Genelia D'Souza almost marry John Abraham during 'Force'? Actress REACTS to bizarre old rumours: 'I think you should ask…'
Back in 2012, strange rumours surfaced claiming that Genelia D'Souza and
John Abraham
were accidentally married during the shooting of the film 'Force'. The story said that a real priest on set had performed an actual Hindu wedding ceremony, including all the traditional rituals like mantras, garlands, mangalsutra, and the seven pheras.
In a new interview with
Siddharth
Kannan, Genelia cleared the air and confirmed that the so-called marriage never happened.
'There was no truth to it'
Addressing the bizarre rumour, Genelia said, 'There was no truth to it. We didn't get married. These stories were spread by PR, and I think you should ask them why they did it.'
The 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' actress explained that the entire buzz was created by PR teams and had nothing to do with her or John.
Back in 2012, the story had taken the media by storm, making many people believe that the on-screen wedding had turned real.
Today, Genelia is happily married to actor
Riteish Deshmukh
. The couple tied the knot in 2012 and have two children.
Genelia's Bollywood comeback
During a recent panel at Elle Impact, she revealed how some people doubted her comeback after 10 years. 'Being an actor who has worked in six languages and someone who took a break because I was having babies, I remember people telling me, 'Oh, you want to come back to films after 10 years? It won't work', but my comeback film became a cult hit.
We shouldn't listen to people.'
She added, 'It's a part of our life. I feel we hype our success too much and stress a bit too much about failure, whereas the impact and intent of your daily life are what truly matter.'
On the work front, Genelia is ready to return to the big screen. She will be seen next in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which is a sequel to
Aamir Khan
's much-loved film 'Taare Zameen Par'.

This actor tried to kill himself after divorce, suffered depression, became alcoholic, fell in love again at 60, his name is..., girlfriend is...
Aamir Khan may be Bollywood's thinking man's superstar, but even he wasn't immune to emotional breakdown. In a recent interview shared by The Lallantop, Aamir confessed he spiralled into self-destruction after his divorce from Reena Dutta in 2002—his first wife and the woman he married in secret in 1986. 'When Reena and I separated, that evening I finished an entire bottle of alcohol, and for the next 1.5 years I drank every day,' Aamir said. 'I never slept. Main behosh ho jaata tha daaru peeke. I was trying to kill myself.' What pushed Aamir to the edge? During this period, Aamir completely withdrew from work and people. The irony hit when he was named Man of the Year in the same year Lagaan released. 'I found it very ironical,' he said—celebrated by the world, but crumbling in private. How did he cope with grief and healing? This wasn't the first time Aamir reflected on that turbulent chapter. Speaking to Instant Bollywood earlier, he had said, 'When Reena and I broke, I was in mourning for almost 2–3 years. I wasn't working or listening to scripts… I drank a lot. You will be shocked to know that I was a teetotaler.' What helped him eventually was acceptance: 'Accept that what was once yours is not there now. Also accept how good it was for you when it was there, and how much you will miss it when it isn't.' Has Aamir Khan found peace again in love? Aamir went on to marry filmmaker Kiran Rao in 2005, but they too separated in 2021 after nearly 16 years of marriage. Now, at 60, Aamir has introduced a new chapter—Gauri Spratt. In a recent event, he presented her publicly and shared that his family has welcomed her warmly. From battling inner demons to finding love again, Aamir Khan's emotional candour reveals a man unafraid to show his flaws, proving that even perfectionists bleed.
