Prateik, who tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Priya Banerjee on Friday, February 14, 2025, on the occasion of Valentine's Day, in an intimate ceremony that took place at Babbar's mother, the late actor Smita Patil’s home in Bandra, Mumbai, surrounded by their 40 closest family and friends.
Prateik, in the last many years, has been vocal about the emotionally turbulent relationship he shares with his father, and he did not invite his father, Raj Babbar, to his wedding.
'People Don't Know The Truth'
Revealing the reason, the actor said, “People don’t know the truth. Some people from the industry know the truth, some don’t and the general public…” Prateik told Miss Malini and added, “But one day, everyone will get to learn the truth. In a story, or a book, or an interview, or a film.”
Priya said that the experience made them stronger as a team and shared, “I think life has thrown a lot of tests right before we got married, just to see if we would last and we are like ninjas. I think every problem that has come our way, we have not reacted like ‘Ab kya hoga?’. We looked at each other and we got each other.”
The duo got engaged in November 2023 after nearly three years of courtship.
