Speaking to Vogue, Prateik shared his idea of getting married at his late mother's house, “We desired a ‘ghar ki shaadi’, and getting married to the love of my life here—the first house that my mom bought and my home—was the best way to honour her in spirit."

Why has Prateik Babbar not invited his family to his wedding?

In several media interviews, the actor has confessed that he shares a strained relationship with his father and alleged that he spent ‘most time’ with his ‘other family’. Arya Babbar and Juhi Babbar are Prateik's paternal half-siblings. However, he shared cordial relations with his siblings and often dropped photos with them on his Instagram.

In a statement, Aarya confirmed that the family has been feuding for the last 6 months and that he doesn’t know the reason behind the actor distancing himself from the family on the occasion. As per IANS, he said, “Prateik, my little brother, is getting married, and yet, as a family, we, the Babbars, haven’t been invited. It’s heartbreaking and deeply painful for all of us. I don’t understand why he has chosen to distance himself from our side of the family, especially when we believed we had worked so hard to mend and strengthen our bond. Perhaps we didn’t do enough”.

Prateik Babbar is the son of actor and politician Raj Babbar and late actress Smita Patil.
