Riteish and I were pregnant together: Genelia D’Souza

Mumbai: For Genelia D’Souza, there’s nothing better than motherhood. The actress says, “I am happy to be a mother. As soon as I get up in the morning, in spite of the fact that my baby might have kept me awake the whole night, I look at my baby and give a big smile. That’s motherhood for us moms.”

Besides being a happy mother, Genelia is also a content wife. “When I was pregnant, the kind of love and care I got from Riteish was unmatchable. He would be by my side all the time… He took 15 days off at the time of delivery; otherwise he kept his professional commitments during the pregnancy. I say that we were pregnant together and delivered the baby together too,” she adds with a smile.

“Both my mom and mom-in-law say, ‘You have to be your own mother.’ Today I have stepped out of the house for the first time; my baby is sleeping but both of them are taking care of him. So I have to rush home.”

About Riteish being a hands-on father, Genelia says, “He, too, remains awake with me. He takes care of the baby, changes diapers etc. He is always there for the baby and me. It’s indeed lucky to have such a loving husband.”

On the professional front, she says, “I have produced a Marathi film. Riteish and I are open to producing Hindi films too. I hope to strike a good balance between home and profession.”
