She also expressed surprise at how the audiences did not forget her despite her being away from the big screen for a long an interview with Hindustan Times, Genelia Deshmukh shared, 'Aamir met Riteish somewhere and asked, 'Is Genelia working nowadays?' Riteish said yes, and that's when Aamir suggested I meet RS Prasanna, the director. I auditioned for the role and got it. I know most actors might think, 'Why audition after 20 years?' But I believe it's a great way to land a film, and I'm genuinely excited that I did it.'advertisementShe then spoke about the audience's reaction to her work and said, "I didn't do much work for the last 10 years, maybe for friends, a song here and there. I did two-three films for OTT. I thought people would forget me and I didn't think I mattered. But it's refreshing to hear people say all this, that they want to see more." "It's an Aamir Khan film, so of course it would have had a lot more eyeballs. I didn't think that somewhere in that takeaway, I also exist. It's been the best compliment, that people want to see more of me. As an actor and human being, if someone wants to see you a lot more, it's a very special place that not everyone gets," the actor 'Sitaare Zameen Par' actor concluded by talking about how word of mouth helped the film's box office stated, "The way the collections just went from the release day till Sunday, that's got a lot to do with word-of-mouth. I think if you make a good film, it eventually finds its audience. I am happy that the film did what it did, more so for the sitaares. I would have really wanted it to be a blockbuster for them, and I am glad it picked up. It's the first time I have been part of a film that talks about inclusion."Genelia Deshmukh will next be seen in the film 'Gunmaaster G9' alongside Emraan Hashmi.
