**Mumbai, India** – Actor Prateik Babbar’s recent Valentine’s Day wedding to Priya Banerjee has been overshadowed by a family feud. His half-siblings, Aarya Babbar and Juuhi Babbar Sonii, have revealed they were not invited to the intimate Mumbai ceremony.
Aarya previously stated that none of the Babbar family were present at the wedding. Juhui, speaking to Bombay Times, expressed understanding for Aarya’s hurt feelings, describing the situation as a sensitive family matter predating Prateik’s birth. She suggested that Prateik is currently surrounded by influences that have led to the exclusion. She emphasized that this wasn’t a rift between Prateik, Priya, and the family, but rather a result of someone seeking publicity.
Juhui attributed the family’s absence to their strong and perhaps intimidating presence, suggesting that some fear the Babbars would overshadow the event. She clarified that their primary concern is Prateik’s happiness and well-being, hoping for future opportunities to celebrate together. Aarya echoed this sentiment, expressing confusion over the exclusion and hinting at external manipulation.
The family history adds context to the situation. Prateik’s father, Raj Babbar, was married to Nadira Babbar (Juhui and Aarya’s mother) from 1975 to 1983. He later married Smita Patil, Prateik’s mother, who died shortly after his birth. Raj and Nadira eventually reconciled. This is Prateik’s second marriage, following a brief union with Sanya Sagar.
