**Mumbai, February 15, 2025** – Actor Prateik Babbar’s intimate Valentine’s Day wedding to actress Priya Banerjee has sparked controversy after his father, Raj Babbar, and siblings, Arya and Juhi Babbar, were notably absent. The ceremony, held at the home of Prateik’s late mother, Smita Patil, was a stark contrast to his first wedding, which the family attended in full force.
In a recent interview with the Times of India, Juhi Babbar addressed the family’s exclusion, stating that unnamed individuals are driving a wedge between Prateik and his family. She emphasized that the issue is not with Priya Banerjee, whom she described as “wonderful,” but with others seeking publicity. Juhi clarified that the family is hurt but avoids placing Prateik in a difficult position, emphasizing their continued love for him despite the circumstances. She highlighted the family’s support during Prateik’s previous marriage and subsequent divorce.
Arya Babbar’s earlier statement confirming the family’s uninvited status was supported by Juhi, who reiterated that everyone in the family is entitled to their feelings. Despite the absence of the Babbar family, Juhi confirmed there is no animosity and they wish Prateik and Priya well.
The wedding itself saw the couple adorned in custom Tarun Tahiliani outfits. Prateik wore a silk drape shirt, charmeuse dhoti, and embroidered sherwani, while Priya stunned in a crystal and sequin-embellished fishtail skirt and corset.
