On August 14, 2019, Genelia Deshmukh, Bollywood actress and wife of Ritesh, took to her Instagram handle to remember her father-in-law. She shared a couple of pictures from the remembrance ceremony, and wrote, "Miss you Pappa every single day." Take a look at the pictures below:
In a 2013 interview with the DNA, Ritiesh had talked about coping with the huge loss. He had shared, "I don’t know how to answer that. It’s an irreparable loss. You can’t compare it to anything. It’s really strange that suddenly a person is not there in your life and then you realise — I won’t say value because as a child you always value your parents — how life will never be the same again. There is a huge void. Sometimes I still feel he is there." (Also Read: Boney Kapoor Reveals Interesting Details From Dating Phase With Sridevi, Breaks Down Remembering Her)

He had further shared, "Everyday I meet people who tell me things he did for them, experiences they shared with him... so we are reliving him through the experiences of people. I am fortunate that in his own way he has left a legacy for me to not miss him. I don’t know how to explain it but yet we miss him, even though he is everywhere."
In the same interview, Ritiesh had revealed how Genelia had been his pillar of support in that horrible time. He had stated, "Genelia. Not because I am married to her. That is irrespective but eventually, she is my strength, my support. To have someone who understands when you like to talk, and when you don’t, is incredible. I don’t like to talk about. I don’t talk. So even for her to sit next to me and share that silence was helpful. I value the silences more than the chats."
