Mumbai, Feb 16 (NationPress) Bollywood star Prateik Babbar celebrated his marriage with Priya Banerjee in the heartfelt memory of his late mother, Smita Patil. The couple was seen posing for photographs with a portrait of his mother watching over them.
Prateik and Priya exchanged vows on February 14, under a pastel-themed celebration. Prateik looked charming in a beige sherwani, while Priya wore a stunning crepe lehenga.
It was previously disclosed that Prateik chose not to invite his father, Raj Babbar, his brother Aarya Babbar, and other family members.
Reports indicate that Prateik has been estranged from his family for the past six months. Aarya expressed his confusion over Prateik's decision to distance himself, stating, “It’s heartbreaking and deeply painful for all of us. I don’t understand why he has chosen to distance himself from our side of the family, especially when we believed we had worked so hard to mend and strengthen our bond. Perhaps we didn’t do enough.”
He also shared, “In a time when everything is virtual, I have decided to take a virtual route to express our love and best wishes. On behalf of our entire family, mom, dad, and Huhi, have made a special stand-up video on my YouTube channel, ‘BabbarSaab’, titled ‘Babbar toh Shaadi Karte Rehte Hai?’ This is my lighter way of reaching out, hoping to bring a smile to his face and maybe even a little warmth to his heart. No matter what, we will always be family.”
Prateik Babbar and Priya Banerjee's wedding was traditional. This marks Prateik’s second marriage; his first was to Sanya Sagar in 2019, which ended in divorce in 2023.
The couple held an intimate celebration with only close friends attending. Prateik and Priya reportedly began dating in 2020. On August 28, 2024, they commemorated their fourth anniversary with a photo and a heartfelt message.
