Paparazzi is always keen to capture star kids, which often irritates many. Some star kids even hide their faces or avoid acknowledging the media. However, Riteish and Genelia's sons, Riaan and Rahyl, have always been praised for greeting the media with a 'Namaste' gesture or folded hands. Riteish shared that initially, his kids were curious why the press click their pictures. So, he explained to them that it was because of his acting work and the boys hadn't done anything to earn it. As a result, they should greet the media with folded hands. He was quoted as saying:

"Paparazzi used to click us and our children asked us for the reason. First, they asked about me. So, I gave the reason for my acting experience over the years. I explained that paps feel that I am an actor with so many years of experience and hence, they should click me. Then they questioned themselves. So, I told them that you haven't done much till now to be clicked by the paps, but still, if they are clicking you, you should thank them with folded hands."
