Riteish Deshmukh Sitaare Zameen Par Premier

A viral video from the Sitaare Zameen Par premiere involving Riteish Deshmukh has left the internet heartbroken.

The actor is seemingly ignoring a young fan’s selfie request on his way out. Known for his charm and relatability, Riteish is now at the centre of an unexpected backlash for what many have called “rude” and “disappointing” behaviour.

The clip, captured outside the premiere venue, shows Riteish walking with his wife Genelia D’Souza. Suddenly, a boy is seen stepping forward to request a selfie.

However, Riteish pushes the phone down and proceeds without even greeting the fan. The latter’s visibly saddened expression quickly sparked outrage online.

Netizens started questioning how someone known for his humour and humility could display such dismissiveness, especially towards a child.

Not only that but many also referenced Housefull 5 in this context, which happens to be Riteish’s latest box office release.

Here’s what one user wrote, “Masterpiece banakar attitude aa gaya?” Meanwhile, another commented, “First time I didn’t like Riteish’s behaviour.”

The incident seems to have overshadowed the otherwise positive buzz around the premiere. For the unversed, Riteish’s wife Genelia D’Souza plays a crucial role in Sitaare Zameen Par.

So, wasn’t it expected from him to behave well during the film’s premiere?

However, a few others are also speculating that the actor’s action may have been a momentary mistake. But the damage it has done may surely affect his impression in the next few days.
