Prateik Babbar recently married his long time girlfriend Priya Bannerjee in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai. However, it was revealed by his half-brother Aarya Babbar that the Babbar family was not invited to the wedding, which was hosted at Prateik’s late actress mother, Smita Patil’s residence in Bandra.
In light of this, Aarya humorously referenced the family’s history of multiple marriages during his latest standup comedy act. Titled ‘Babbar Toh Shaadi Karte Rhte HAIN?’, Aarya took a witty dig at his father and brother’s second marriages saying, “I agree, my father married twice, my sister has been married twice, and now my brother is getting married for the second time. Even my dog, Happy, has two girlfriends. So, I don’t mind getting married a second time, but I’m just too lazy to deal with the complications of a divorce.”
He also shared how he sought advice from his father, Raj Babbar, on how to respond to questions from media about not being invited to Prateik’s wedding. The veteran actor had said, “Tell them, mard toh shaadi karte rehte hain (men keep getting married).”
Earlier, in an interview with ETimes, Aarya had confirmed the whole of Babbar family was invited for the wedding, and he had expressed confusion over the same, since he had always assumed that he and his half-brother were close.
He said, “I presume someone has overpowered his brain too much. He is not wanting to connect with anyone from this side of the family. He has decided not to call anyone.”
Before Priya Banerjee, Prateik was married to Sanya Sagar. They married in 2019 but parted ways in 2023.
