Both the actors were seeing each other for the past 9 years and will now take their relationship to the next level in 2012. According to a close relative, it will be a low key wedding and only close relatives and friends will be invited. "We've been told to keep ourselves free from the third to the fifth of February. The wedding has been finalized for the fourth. They have decided the venue as well. Hyatt Regency has been booked," a friend said.

It is also reported that both, Genelia and Ritesh, got engaged on on September 11, 2011 in a ceremony where only the families of both were present. Ritesh (32) and Genelia (24) have started preparing their guest list for the wedding. The Bachchans, Telugu star Rana Daggubati, Ram Gopal Varma, Imran Khan, and other South Indian actors are in the guest list of Genelia while Ritesh is planning to invite Karan Johar, Boman Irani, Sajid Khan and others.

According to the reports, Genelia will continue her Bollywood career even after her marriage. Both of them first met on the set of Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003), Ritesh's Bollywood debut film. They have been dating each other since then.
