Bangkok blast: Riteish & Genelia Deshmukh have a narrow escape

Genelia Deshmukh and husband, Riteish were in Bangkok when the bombs went off.

The bomb that had exploded close to a shrine in the centre of Thailand's capital killed at least 19 people and injured more than 120. The couple was in the mall when the bomb blasted outside.

Tweeting about the same, Genelia wrote,
