Their love story is truly filmy. Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza met on the sets of their Bollywood debut movie, Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003. After years of playing hide-and-seek from the media about their relationship, the two announced their plans to get hitched last year. Their sangeet ceremony, which was held yesterday (January 31), might not have got the Khans together, but it did have the who’s who of Bollywood and some very close friends.

Genelia D’Souza and Ritesh Deshmukh was one glowing couple. Genelia looked gorgeous in a Manish Malhotra dress. Our best wishes for the couple!

So what if Shah Rukh Khan couldn’t make it? Karan Johar and Gauri Khan attended the sangeet as did new-daddy-on-the-block Abhishek Bachchan (sans Aishwarya Rai).

Even Salman Khan had to miss this event. But the Khan family – Arbaaz Khan, Malaika Arora Khan, Arpita Khan and Sohail Khan – made a grand appearance. No reason to complain then.

Here are some of the other stars who came to bless the couple:
