Bollywood star Riteish Deshmukh recently gave fans a glimpse of his heartwarming Diwali and Padwa celebrations with wife Genelia D`Souza and their two sons, Riaan and Raahyl.
The actor shared a touching family video and a pair of emotional handwritten letters from his kids on social media. In the video, Ritesh is seen joyfully applying milk, uptan and oil to his sons as a part of the traditional Diwali ritual, turning it into a fun-filled and laughter-filled bonding moment between the father and his boys.
The clip then also shows the children making colourful rangolis, followed by Genelia performing the aarti of her sons as a part of a heartwarming family custom. In a sweet reversal, Ritesh and the boys are also later seen performing Genelia`s “aarti”, after which the kids lovingly bow down to seek blessings from their mother.
The video concludes with the family of four, Ritesh, Genelia, Riaan and Raahyl, wishing everyone a happy Diwali and happy Padwa. The actor captioned the video, `Every year Diwali is celebrated with family in our village Babhalgaon, Latur. This year due to the shoot commitment of Raja Shivaji – we missed being there – but we weren’t going to miss our rituals – Happy Diwali Padwa !!.`
Adding to the emotional celebrations, Ritesh shared pictures of handwritten letters from his sons. One note read, `Hi Baba!` Happy Diwali! Hope you are having a good time on set. We are missing you for the Diwali lunch, but I know you are doing something that you love. I hope your film succeeds. Another note from his younger son said, `Hi, Baba!` I know you are working hard for us. Today is Diwali, but I hope the light reaches you.
The Diwali lunch will never be the same without you. Have a great day at the shoot. Love, Rayo Payo. Sharing the letters, Ritesh wrote, `Nothing better than receiving letters from your kids on Diwali day.` And added, Aur jeene ko kya chahiye. Shooting for Raja Shivaji is special, but receiving letters from boys makes it everlasting.
