Prateik Babbar and his wife Priya Banerjee recently tied the knot in a quiet ceremony. When asked about his father, Raj Babbar, not attending the wedding, Priya dodged the question, saying she didn’t want to talk about it because she’s happy. She did mention that Prateik’s family was never really present in his life.
Priya also addressed the rumors surrounding their marriage, stating that people tend to talk about others to get attention. She emphasized that they don’t need to justify themselves to anyone and are focused on living their lives and being happy. Prateik added that he was hurt by the rumors, especially when people blamed Priya for his decisions.
The couple also discussed their special day, with Prateik describing it as emotional and meaningful. Priya shared that she never dreamed of a big wedding and was happy with the intimate ceremony. Prateik mentioned that his mom, Smita Patil, and grandparents had given their blessings for the marriage.
Prateik recently changed his surname from Babbar to Patil, his mother’s name. He explained that this decision was intentional and made him feel better. He wants to connect with his mother’s legacy and doesn’t think any other name should tarnish it. Prateik aspires to be like his mother, not his father, and sees this as a new chapter in his life.
