**Mumbai, India** – Actor Prateik Babbar’s recent wedding to Priya Banerjee has sparked family drama, with his half-brother Aarya Babbar revealing that the entire Babbar family was excluded from the intimate ceremony held at their late mother Smita Patil’s Mumbai residence.
While Prateik and Priya shared photos from their wedding on social media with the caption “I’ll marry you in every lifetime,” Aarya expressed his confusion and hurt in several interviews. He stated that he assumed he and Prateik were close and couldn’t understand why he, his sister Juhi, and their father, veteran actor Raj Babbar, weren’t invited. Aarya suggested that someone may be unduly influencing Prateik’s decisions. While he understood Prateik might not want to invite his stepmother, Nadira Babbar, he felt excluding their father was unacceptable.
Aarya’s humorous take on the situation during his stand-up comedy act, titled *Babbar Toh Shaadi Karte Rhte HAIN?* (Do the Babbars Keep Getting Married?), highlighted the family’s history of multiple marriages, adding a layer of irony to the situation. He even shared that his father’s advice on handling media questions about the snub was: “Tell them, ‘men keep getting married.'”
This family rift follows Prateik’s previous marriage to Sanya Sagar, which ended in 2023. The situation underscores a complex family dynamic, leaving many wondering about the true reasons behind the exclusion of Prateik’s paternal family from his wedding.
