The 'Force' star, 28, took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to&nbsp;express her grief over the lives lost due to the powerful bomb blast and inform her&nbsp;fans that she was safe.
She revealed that she was in a mall right opposite to the bomb site and could hear the sirens blazing.
"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 tweeted.
Riteish also tweeted, "Bangkok -right across the street". &nbsp;He also posted a video of police&nbsp;
At least 27 people were killed and 78 others wounded -- mostly foreigners -- in a bomb explosion on Monday close to Hindu Erawan Shrine in the centre of the Thai capital, police said.
The temple, which is dedicated to Lord Brahma, is located on a main road through Bangkok's commercial hub and is surrounded by three major shopping malls.
