Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh is one of the beloved stars in the entertainment industry and is known for his generosity. However, he has recently left his fans disappointed with his shocking ‘attitude’.

Riteish attended the star-studded premiere of Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza Deshmukh’s starrer film, Sitaare Zameen Par. Riteish was there to support his wife, Genelia. Several videos from the event went viral on social media in which Riteish flaunted his true gentlemanly behaviour.

From stepping aside to let Genelia pose with Aamir to sweetly adoring his wife from a distance as she poses for solo pictures, Riteish melted the internet’s hearts with his sweet hubby behaviour. However, one particular video is also going viral on social media that shows Riteish’s frustrated side.

In the video, Riteish guided his wife through a crowd of fans, taking her by the hand, as they made their way to the screening hall. A young fan approached Riteish for a selfie, but the actor swiftly declined by pushing the boy's hand down, refusing to take a photo. As Riteish and his wife walked away, the disappointed boy looked visibly saddened by the rejection.
The actor received huge backlash from the fans as they expressed their disappointed reactions in the comment section on the video. One person wrote, “Housefull jaise movie banake aisa attitude hai bhai.”

Another critic elaborated, “That was incredibly rude. Are these your true colors? 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.@riteishd @geneliad.”
