New Delhi: The newly wed Bollywood couple Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza sang 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya' but not to each other but to the Jawans of Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP).

The couple, who started their career together eight years ago with "Tujhe Mere Kasam", spent an evening with the Jawans at their battalion camp in the national capital. Dressed in a green Anarkali suit, 24-year old Genelia along with her husband and co-star Riteish sang songs from the movie and dedicated it to the Jawans, who guard the icy heights along country's frontier with China. Deshmukh who is famous for his comic timings said he felt small in front of Jawans.

"We are really small in front of you. I am too small to even praise you. It's because of you all that we are safe in our country", he said. "The contribution of Jawans to the nation is great. You sacrifice your life for the nation. We can only try to entertain you," Deshmukh added. The lead actors along with the music composers of "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya", Sachin-Jigar, were present at the ITBP event on Wednesday to celebrate the Golden Jubilee year of the border guarding force.

Raised on 24th October 1962, ITBP with close to 50 thousand personnel guards the 3488 kilometre long frontier with China. It is also the lead force for disaster management in the Himalyan region.
