Riteish and Genelia appeared as guests on an episode of The Kapil Sharma Show. During the show, Riteish shared an anecdote that startled Kapil Sharma and made him chuckle. The actor claimed that during one of the cricket leagues, a few members of the South squad referred to him as 'Genelia's husband,' which hurt his ego. He then shared his reaction to that and said, "Here, I am Genelia's husband. In Maharashtra, she is Riteish's wife." To which the players responded, "Sir, she is ‘Riteish's wife’ in Maharashtra only, but you are ‘Genelia's husband’ in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka."
When Riteish shared the incident, it left everybody giggling. The Sony LIV team also shared the clip of Riteish recounting the incident on their official Instagram handle. While sharing the promo clip, they wrote, "Bollywood ke cute aur talented couple Riteish-Genelia ke saath hogi dher saari romanchak baatein jab aayenge woh Kapil ke ghar."
