Prateik Babbar tied the knot with the love of his wife, Priya Banerjee, on February 14, 2025, in a private ceremony. The duo had been dating for more than a year, and fans were delighted to see the inside pictures from their special day. But the wedding came under the scanner when Prateik’s half-siblings, Arya and Juhi Babbar, revealed that they weren’t invited to the wedding along with their parents. They took a dig at the actor for not even inviting their father, Raj Babbar, to the big day. Prateik has remained silent through all the accusations. But recently in a new interview, the actor broke his silence on why he didn’t invite his father and their family to his wedding.
Prateik Babbar reveals his mom, Smita Patil, had a complicated bond with Raj Babbar’s wife, Nadira
Prateik Babbar is the son of veteran actor, Raj Babbar and Smita Patil. He recently sat down for an interview with Times Now, wherein he opened up about the controversy which took place after he didn’t invite his father, Raj Babbar and step siblings to his wedding in February 2025. The actor revealed that his late mother, Smita Patil, had a complicated relationship with his father’s first wife, Nadira. Since he got married at his late mother’s home, he felt it wouldn’t be ‘ethical’ to invite his father and their family on the big day. In his words:
“My father’s wife and my mother had some complications in the past; lots of things have been said in the press and stuff like that if you dig out 38-40 years ago. I was open to doing something with my father and his family for another function. I just thought it was unethical to have him and his family at that house after everything had gone on between them. Absolutely, it wasn’t right.”
