A Pandit stubbornness might cost Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza their marriage plans. The Hindu priest insists the lovebirds cannot take saat pheras anytime soon.
Genelia D’Souza and John Abraham are acting together for the film ‘Force’ directed by Nishikant Kamat. The film includes a scene where both of them get married. Apparently, the film unit has arranged a real pandit (Pandit Bhagwat Guruji) instead of a junior artist. And the pandit claims that he forgot that it was a film shoot and read out the real mantras.
Now, following the reports of Genelia and Riteish planning marriage, Pandit Bhagwat Guruji approached the film producer’s (Vipul Amrutlal Shah) office and said that Genelia got married to John and cannot marry Ritesh.
Pandit Bhagwat says he was asked to perform the rituals authentically by director Nishikant Kamat. “John and Genelia are husband and wife,” he says, adding, “I need to make them understand that I have pronounced the mantras one does at a real wedding. Everything from wearing a mangalsutra, to exchanging garlands and taking the saat pheras has been done.”
Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah says, “The pandit is now mad at us for getting him involved in this scene. He’s treating it like a real wedding, but I want to make him understand that that’s not the case. In my entire career, I’ve never experienced anything of this sort!”
