Prateik Babbar and Priya Banerjee tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on February 14, 2025, at Prateik’s late mother, Smita Patil’s home in Mumbai. The couple was surrounded by their closest family and friends, but Raj Babbar, Arya Babbar, and Juhi Babbar were notably absent, sparking discussions on social media.
In an interview with *The Times of India*, Prateik and Priya addressed the decision not to invite Raj Babbar. When asked about it, Priya firmly responded, stating they had no intention of discussing the matter. She urged people to look up past reports before making judgments and emphasized that their silence was a matter of respect and dignity.
When questioned about the possibility of mending family ties, Priya clarified that there was nothing to change, as there was never a real relationship to begin with. She dismissed the criticism, arguing that people often seek attention by discussing others’ lives and that neither she nor Prateik owed anyone an explanation.
Speaking about Prateik’s complicated relationship with his father’s side of the family, Priya highlighted the emotional struggles he endured after losing his mother at just two weeks old. She questioned the right of outsiders to comment on a deeply personal experience they could never fully understand.
Prateik acknowledged the complexities of the situation, stating that when the time is right, he will share his story, which will not only bring clarity to him but also to others involved. Until then, both he and Priya choose to focus on their happiness, without feeling the need to justify their decisions.
