Riteish Deshmukh says 'you can't avoid camera' after Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor request paparazzi not to click Raha
Riteish Deshmukh says 'camera cannot be avoided'
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Riteish Deshmukh discussed how there is no norm on how celebrity parents should manage their children's exposure to the media. He said, "Just because one person does something doesn't mean others have to do the same. I think parents know what's best for their children and they come with a certain thought process. If people feel that they don't want their children to be in the media, it should be respected."
Further, the Housefull 5 actor mentioned that avoiding the camera is impossible as their kids are out every day for their sports activities. Riteish shared that when they go and watch their children's matches, they will be clicked by the paparazzi and said, "You cannot avoid it."
Deshmukh explained how one has to deal with the camera and shared what he teaches his children. Riteish shared, "The only thing I tell them is that when people click us, it's an honour. When they (paps) ask for pictures, you thank them for clicking and move on. They (kids) also need to understand that when someone comes and clicks you there is a certain work gone behind the need to come to click us. It's important to not make a big deal out of it."
Speaking about Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza, the two are among the most popular celeb couple. From their love for each other to the values they have inculcated in their children, fans just adore everything about them.
On the professional front, Riteish Deshmukh was recently seen in Housefull 5. Speaking about Genelia, she was seen in Sitaare Zameen Par.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' Box Office Collection Day 16: Aamir Khan's film sees growth, crosses ₹142 Crore
Aamir Khan's family drama 'Sitaare Zameen Par' recorded a strong jump on its 16th day at the box office, earning ₹ 5 crore on the third Saturday. With this, the film's total domestic collection has reached ₹ 142.80 crore. After a dip in earnings on Day 15 (Friday), which brought in ₹ 2.4 crore, the Saturday collections have offered a fresh boost to the film's performance. The jump reflects renewed audience interest as the weekend progresses. In its second week, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' collected ₹ 46.5 crore, with ₹ 46.24 crore from the Hindi version, ₹ 0.17 crore from Tamil, and ₹ 0.09 crore from Telugu. On Day 16, the Hindi (2D) version saw a rise in cinema occupancy: The increase in evening show attendance suggests that the film continues to attract families and younger audiences. Analysts note that strong word-of-mouth, Aamir Khan's presence, and the film's emotional storyline have helped sustain interest beyond the initial release period. With Sunday still to come, trade experts expect the film to post even stronger numbers by the end of the weekend. If momentum continues, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' may cross the ₹ 150 crore mark soon. This performance reinforces Aamir Khan's pull at the box office and reflects the audience's ongoing appetite for heartfelt, message-driven cinema.

Sitaare Zameen Par: A slam-dunk that dribbles humour with sensitivity
This charming 'basketball diaries' is special by not overplaying 'specialness' Have you ever watched a film so sweet and kind, that though you were conscious of its flaws, your heart willed your head not to let them overshadow what you loved about it? That's how I feel about director RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par (Stars on Earth), produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, featuring Aamir as an errant basketball coach ordered by a judge to train a team of persons with intellectual disabilities. Prasanna's interest in blending humour with delicate topics was evident when he took up erectile dysfunction in the 2013 Tamil film, Kalyana Samayal Saadham (Wedding Feast), and its 2017 Hindi remake, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (Good Luck, Be Careful). In SZP - the Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Campeones (Champions) - he reminds us that you can populate a comedy with marginalised communities, yet never punch down. In the strictest sense of the word, SZP may be considered predictable. It goes without saying that by the end, Aamir's khadoos, selfish Gulshan will evolve. That he will repair his relationship with his wife (Genelia Deshmukh). That while he coaches neurodivergent youngsters (Simran Mangeshkar, Aayush Bhansali, Aroush Datta, Ashish Pendse, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Naman Misra, Rishabh Jain, Rishi Shahani, Samvit Desai and Vedant Sharma) in the game of basketball, they will coach him in the game of life. SZP's point though is not its conclusion, but the path to it. Aamir's willingness as producer and superstar to back thoughtful cinema far removed from the works of his male contemporaries in the Hindi film industry gives SZP the visibility it deserves. Its winning move is the casting of the basketballers, each one dealing in reality with the challenge that their character has on screen. The result: instead of 'playing' autism, or Down's syndrome, they play people who no doubt have challenges, but are not defined by them. A hat tip here to casting directors Tess Joseph and Anmol Ahuja. Gopi, who plays SZP's Guddu, was charming as the joint lead in Thirike (The Return), an endearing Malayalam film about orphaned brothers separated by adoption, co-directed by George Kora and Sam Xavier. Thirike was released in 2021, the same year as the lovely Hindi-English Ahaan directed by Nikhil Pherwani, starring an excellent Abuli Mamaji as a youngster with Down's Syndrome (like the actor), who befriends a man with OCD. SZP, Thirike and Ahaan add a crucial layer to discussions on representation in casting. I'm particularly preoccupied with this subject since I just watched the US series Parenthood, in which the brilliant Max Burkholder, a neurotypical actor, played a boy on the autism spectrum. Divy Nidhi Sharma's script for SZP nudges us to expand our definition of marginalisation, and to also note how those who face prejudice might harbour prejudice, too. Its most hilarious track involves Gulshan's ageism towards his mother, played impeccably by Dolly Ahluwalia. For a film that understands ageism, it's disappointing and ironic, though, that a woman of Aamir's age was not cast as Gulshan's wife. Instead, as he told the press, he has been 'de-aged' with VFX. I'm not sure whether it's the VFX or the weight of playing characters who are decades his junior, or prosthetics in the past, that can be blamed. But the fact is there's too much of the Aamir of 3 Idiots in the Aamir of PK, Laal Singh Chaddha, and SZP. I'm rooting for the return of the Aamir who gave me a lump in my throat when he looked skywards in a tough moment in the seemingly simple Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (We Are Travellers on the Path of Love) and asked his dead sister, 'Main kya karoo, Didi?' It hurts to point this out because I'm emotionally invested in the Aamir who constantly shrugs off cliched notions of commercial viability to greenlight films like SZP. Conventional 'wisdom' among India's richest filmmakers is that sensitivity cannot coexist with hilarity. The joyous SZP tosses that 'wisdom' out of the window.
