"Me and Genelia are getting married next year. I am too much in love with her," said Riteish.
"Thanks so much for ur overwhelming response. It's a exciting new chapter in our lives and all ur wishes and blessings make it even more beautiful and special for Riteish and me," tweeted Genelia.
The duo have been dating each other since their Bollywood debut 'Tujhe Meri Kasam' in 2003.
Riteish's brother Dheeraj will be getting married to producer Vashu Bhagnani's daughter Honey in February 4th. However, Riteish said the wedding date for his marriage with Genelia was not finalised yet, but hinted on getting married early next year.
Incidentally, Riteish and Genelia's second film 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya', where they will be seen together on screen after eight years, will also be releasing early next year.
On explaining the reason behind keeping their love affair under cover all these years, Riteish said they did so to avoid unnecessary limelight to their relationship. The actor also revealed they have the blessing of both their families from the beginning and the parents had given the freedom to decide on when to tie the knot.
On reacting to the query whether Genelia will continue her acting career after marriage or not, Riteish said, "It's completely her choice."
