Genelia Deshmukh on accidental marriage rumours with John Abraham: No truth to it
Genelia Deshmukh has finally cleared the air on one of the strangest rumours from her career that she and John Abraham were accidentally married during the filming of their 2011 film 'Force'. The speculation, which first surfaced in 2012, claimed that a real wedding took place on set during a scene in which the two actors exchanged garlands, mangalsutra, and took the seven pheras in the presence of a real priest.advertisementIn a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Genelia firmly put the rumour to rest. '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,' she said, dismissing the story as completely fabricated.The 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' star emphasised that neither she nor John had anything to do with the buzz and that the entire narrative was a product of publicity tactics. Genelia is now happily married to actor Riteish Deshmukh. The couple, who got married in 2012, are parents to two children. Meanwhile, John Abraham is married to investment banker Priya Runchal.
The actor also recently opened up about taking a decade-long break from films after her wedding. In a separate conversation with Zoom, she explained, 'Most people ask me if it's easy to step away from the limelight for 10 years and I said, 'It's what I wanted to do, so I did it.' I saw a place after 10 years and I am happy in that place. I may not do 10 films, I may do three films, but my happiness is with that and that's what matters the most.'Genelia made a successful comeback with the 2022 Marathi film 'Ved', directed by Riteish Deshmukh. While she had brief cameos in 'Jai Ho' and 'Force 2', 'Ved' marked her return in a lead role, and the film went on to become a hit.Must Watch
