Riteish, wearing a white sherwani and red 'feta' (turban), entered the hotel on a 'ghodi'. The 'baaraat' started from the grounds near Grand Hyatt and reached the hotel. The actor's politician father Vilasrao Deshmukh was dressed in a brown sherwani.

Among those present were Sharad Pawar, Prithviraj Chavan, Praful Patel, Abhishek Bachchan, Kajol and Ajay Devgn.

Riteish (32) and Genelia (24) had been seeing each other since their Bollywood debut 'Tujhe Meri Kasam' in 2003.

In a run-up to the main ceremony, a pre-wedding bash was organised by actor Fardeen Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala on January 25 followed by a sangeet ceremony at Taj Lands End hotel in suburban Bandra on January 31.
