Genelia Deshmukh Birthday: When actress revealed Imran Khan was initially comfortable with another artist opposite him in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

As an ardent fan of the dynamic duo, Genelia Deshmukh and Riteish Deshmukh, I can’t help but marvel at their enchanting journey through Bollywood. Their love story, much like the romantic dramas they starred in, is nothing short of a fairytale.


On August 5th, we celebrate the birthday of Genelia Deshmukh! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and share an interesting tidbit from her iconic film “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.” Over 16 years have passed since its release, but this movie continues to captivate audiences. Did you know that Genelia had some stiff competition in securing the female lead role?

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Genelia D’Souza shared a behind-the-scenes story about the iconic character of Aditi in the film “Jai Singh Rathore.” She mentioned that another actress had also been considered for the role opposite Imran Khan. Genelia added, “It was exciting because we were both going to perform our final screen test. I recall Imran mentioning that he felt more at ease with the other actress than with me during the test.”

In a heartwarming turn of events, the 37-year-old shared that their dynamic shifted when Imran witnessed their screen test together and realized Genelia was his match. As Genelia put it, “It seemed as if we had been friends for life.” Here’s to hoping that more endearing couples like Genelia and Imran grace our screens in the future.

In 2008, the romantic comedy “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” emerged as an instant classic, quickly gaining cult status. Penned and directed by Abbas Tyrewala, this coming-of-age tale masterfully combined themes of friendship, heartache, college life, and love. The film also had a significant impact on the careers of everyone associated with it, notably Genelia D’Souza.

As a devoted fan and follower of Genelia D’Souza, I’d like to share some insights about her journey in the film industry. After making her debut post-JTYJN, Deshmukh, who I refer to as she, found success in numerous films across various languages, including Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.

For those who might not know, Genelia and Riteish first appeared together in K. Vijaya Bhaskar’s romantic drama “Tujhe Meri Kasam” back in 2003. The duo became parents to a son named Riaan on November 25, 2014, followed by their second son, Rahyl, who was born on June 1, 2016. Their latest appearance together was in the successful film “Ved” released in 2022.
