Sun Feb 16 16:58:35 UTC 2025: ## Bollywood Actor Prateik Babbar Marries Priya Banerjee Amidst Family Rift
**Mumbai, February 15** – Actor Prateik Babbar, son of veteran actor Raj Babbar and the late Smita Patil, secretly married his longtime girlfriend Priya Banerjee on Valentine’s Day. The intimate ceremony, held at their home, included close friends and family, but notably excluded members of Babbar’s immediate family, including his father.
Prateik’s step-sister, Juhi Babbar, confirmed the family’s absence in an interview with The Times of India, stating that while she loves her brother, he’s been influenced by unnamed individuals. She clarified that her concerns weren’t directed at the bride, whom she described as “wonderful,” but rather at a third party seeking publicity.
The wedding itself was a lavish affair. The couple donned exquisite Tarun Tahiliani ensembles and Khurana Jewellery House adornments. Priya Banerjee stunned in an ivory and gold lehenga, while Prateik Babbar complemented her in a matching sherwani.
This marriage follows Prateik’s 2019 divorce from Sanya Sagar. The lack of his father and other family members at the ceremony highlights a clear rift within the Babbar family, leaving the reasons behind the exclusion the subject of much speculation.
