Prateik Babbar has NOT invited his dad Raj Babbar and half brother Aarya for his wedding

Prateik Babbar and Raj Babbar

Aarya Babbar has expressed disappointment and confusion over not being invited to his half-brother Prateik Babbar’s wedding with Priya Banerjee. The news of Prateik’s upcoming wedding on February 14, 2025, has excited fans, but it has also stirred emotions within the Babbar family. Aarya, son of veteran actor Raj Babbar and his first wife, Nadira Babbar, spoke candidly about his family’s absence from the guest list.

In an exclusive interview, Aarya revealed, “We are not invited as a family. Babbars are not invited. I really believe we are still close. I am not understanding how this has happened.” He further speculated that an external influence might be behind Prateik’s decision, adding, “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. I give him this benefit of doubt.”

Prateik Babbar, the son of Raj Babbar and late actress Smita Patil, has been in the spotlight for his acting career as well as his personal life. His upcoming marriage to actress Priya Banerjee has been widely discussed in the media, especially after Aarya’s revelation about their family not receiving an invitation. This will be Prateik’s second marriage; he was previously married to Sanya Sagar.

Aarya also emphasized his mother’s role in keeping their family together. “My mother is the one who made this dysfunctional family into a functional one,” he said. Expressing his disappointment, he remarked, “Even if you don’t wish to call my mother, at least dad should have been called.” He likened the situation to a dramatic storyline, stating, “Life is not less than a film; someone in the house is influencing him. I don’t want to think it is Prateik, and I don’t think he is like that.”

This statement hints at Aarya’s belief that someone close to Prateik might be influencing his decisions regarding the wedding invitations. However, he refrained from naming anyone specifically.

While the Babbar family seems to be excluded from the guest list, Prateik’s bond with them has previously appeared intact. His sister, Juhi Babbar, had previously shared in an interview that Prateik was always present at family functions. Interestingly, Prateik recently added his mother Smita Patil’s surname to his own, now going by Prateik Patil Babbar. Juhi had remarked that this decision was inspired by her son.

As the wedding day approaches, it remains to be seen whether Prateik will address Aarya’s concerns or if there will be any reconciliation within the Babbar family. For now, the family’s absence from the celebrations has added a layer of emotional complexity to what should be a joyous occasion.
