Last night, she tweeted this, as reports came in of a bomb blast near a Hindu temple surrounded by hotels and malls:



 

Bomb set off just opp the mall we are currently in -can hear the sirens blazing all over- we are safe but feel terrible for the lives lost.

Genelia’s actor husband Riteish Deshmukh was with her and Instagrammed a few seconds of video footage of an ambulance racing down the street where the blast happened.



 

 

This morning, Riteish tweeted:


 

My thoughts go out to the people affected by last night’s cowardly attack. Taking innocent lives is no way to protest or make a point.

Thank you all for your prayers and concern. We all are fine.

The blast left 21 dead and about a 100 injured, most of them tourists. Thailand’s junta leader has said that security forces have identified a suspect.
