'There was no truth to it. We didn't get married. These stories were spread by PR, and I think you should ask them why they did it," said Genelia while talking to Siddharth Kannan.
The actress further said that the story was made by PR machinery and neither she nor John Abraham were aware of it.
The actress also spoke about 10 year break from acting post her marriage with Riteish Deshmukh. 'Most people ask me if it's easy to step away from the limelight for 10 years and I said, 'It's what I wanted to do, so I did it.' I saw a place after 10 years and I am happy in that place. I may not do 10 films, I may do three films, but my happiness is with that and that's what matters the most," Genelia told Zoom.

While fans are ecstatic to see her back on the big screen with Aamir Khan starrer Sitaare Zameen Par, Genelia recently slammed Bollywood for sidelining her and not giving her opportunities after her marriage.
'When people got to know I'm doing Sitaare Zameen Par, everybody said, 'Oh my god! So lucky! You're doing an Aamir Khan film!" I said, of course, that's Aamir sir's bigness that he saw something in me. Of course, he made me audition. But you could also do that, right? You could also offer me a role," said Genelia while talking to FilmyMantra.
Sitaare Zameen Par is set to hit the screens this Friday.
