Riteish-Genelia tie wedding knot

After dating each other for nearly eight years, Bollywood actors Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza tied the knot on Friday at Mumbai's Grand Hyatt at Santacruz.

Riteish tweeted to his fans: "Today @geneliad n me start our lives together-Thank you so much for showering unconditional love on us."

He even shared his marriage picture with the Twitterati where the couple is seen posing infront of the camera in wedding attire.

Earlier on Thursday, an excited Ritesih had remarked quite humourously: "Saw the Last sunset as a Bachelor."

The pre-wedding bash and recent sangeet ceremony were all oh-so-filmi with almost every top -notch celebrity turning up to wish the couple and to take part in celebrations. Those who couldn't, however, made sure their congratulations poured in via twitter.

The sparks of romance and love ignited between the two on the sets of their debut film 'Tujhe Meri Kasam' in 2003. After that they were seen together in multi-starrer comedy 'Masti' by Indra Kumar. The couple will again be soon together in their upcoming flick 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya'.

While Riteish belongs to a family with political background - his father being the politician Vilasrao Deshmukh, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Genelia, on the other hand, belongs to a Mangalorean Catholic family.
