Hence, the actor posted multiple tweets about the film and revealed how his life changed after its release and also, why Genelia didn't speak to him (initially) while filming the movie. "Genelia didn't speak to me for the first two days during the shoot of the film because my father was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra then," wrote Riteish, who is now happily married to his first co-star. Later, he mentioned that with the release of
Tujhe Meri Kasam, Riteish, who was an architect earlier, became an actor and Genelia became his '
