Riteish Deshmukh Pushes Away Young Fan As He Tries To Get Selfie, Internet Reacts Angrily

Last Updated: At the premiere of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, Riteish Deshmukh was seen pushing away a young fan attempting a selfie. At the recent premiere of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, a video of actor Riteish Deshmukh left fans surprised — and not in a good way. Riteish, who is often praised alongside wife Genelia D'Souza for being kind and approachable, was seen pushing away a young fan who tried to take a selfie with the couple. In the clip that is going viral online now, Riteish is seen holding Genelia's hand and guiding her through a crowd towards the screening venue. A young boy in the crowd steps forward with his phone to click a selfie. However, Riteish is seen pushing the boy's hand down and walking away without acknowledging him. The child appears visibly disappointed. Take a look at the video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanjay Tiwari (@bollywoodhelpline) The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many users calling out the actor. Several social media users expressed disappointment over Riteish Deshmukh's behaviour in the viral video. 'First time mujhe Ritesh ka attitude pasand nhi aaya (For the first time, I didn't like Riteish's attitude)," one person commented. Another added, 'Not expected from Ritesh. Very wrong attitude. Sorry, unfollowing you now." One user even tagged the actor directly and wrote, 'Imagine his parents had sent him to take a photo with you. The kid came politely to take a selfie — what was wrong with that? Stay humble bhai, you won't lose anything." Others called the gesture 'rude" and 'disappointing," with one message reading, 'That was incredibly rude. Are these your true colours? Your facial expressions and attitude say a lot — and not in a good way. I expected a grown man to show more self-control and maturity. It wouldn't hurt to stay grounded and respectful." Riteish Deshmukh was last seen in Housefull 5, where he reunited with Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and an ensemble cast for the latest installment of the popular comedy franchise. Meanwhile, his wife Genelia D'Souza returned to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, which hit theatres this Friday. The film features her opposite Aamir Khan. Riteish Deshmukh had earlier showered high praise on Sitaare Zameen Par, which released in theatres on 20th June. He called it the 'best film of the year', and said that it leaves you a better human being. He praised Aamir, praising his 'incredibly nuanced' performance. Riteish also showered praise on his wife Genelia Deshmukh, saying that she is 'pure magic' on screen, and that he is a genuine fan of her craft. However, he said that the 'true' sitaare of this film are the children who stole the show with their phenomenal performances. First Published:

Actor Jaideep Ahlawat was last seen opposite Saif Ali Khan in Siddharth Anand's Jewel Thief, where his glamorous role left many surprised. However, that very transformation reportedly made director Siddharth Anand hesitant to offer him a role in Shah Rukh Khan's King. In a recent interview with Lallantop, Jaideep revealed that he will indeed be seen in King, and shared how 'King Khan' himself offered him the role after sensing Siddharth's skepticism. Confirming his role in King, Jaideep said, 'SRK sir kaafi time se soch rahe the iss cheez ko, jaisa mujhe pata laga hai, but Siddharth (Anand) bhai thoda hichak rahe honge ki chota part hai to offer after Jewel Thief. But Khan saab, being Khan saab, he said I'll talk to him. Ab unki baat kaun nakarega? (From what I have learned, SRK sir was thinking about this for quite some time. But Siddharth was a little skeptical, because it's a small role to offer after Jewel Thief. But Khan saab said he will talk to me, now who can say no to him?)'

In all my interactions with him — in the five to seven times we've met — starting from Raees, where I shot with him for four to five days, and even after that, whenever we met, he always made me feel like I was the closest person to him. He's a wonderful human being. He has some amazing qualities. Every time I've met him, he's made me feel important.' As for King, other than Shah Rukh Khan, the film also stars Suhana Khan (SRK's daughter) and Saurabh Shukla in important roles.
