The icing on the cake was the birthday video he made for Genelia, which was a compilation of their best moments together. He captioned the post, “Gods must love me. There is no greater feeling than waking up every morning and seeing your face. Inching towards 20 years of being together and feels like it was yesterday.. thank you for being the wonderful partner that you are- happy birthday baiko!!! You are looking younger by the day … can’t say the same about me.”

In the video, fans were treated to seeing glimpses of the couple’s life at home, such as Riteish tying Genelia’s hair when her arm was in a sling, their Holi celebrations, their walks, with the song “Tumse Milke” in the background. An emotional Genelia commented on the post, “Thank you my most favourite human being..I found you and I found my entire world. Thank you for being the reason I feel good through each year of growing up. Love you more than me.”
