Actor Prateik Babbar and actress Priya Banerjee have officially tied the knot in a close-knit wedding ceremony held at Prateik’s late mother Smita Patil’s residence in Bandra, Mumbai. The couple, who have been together for nearly five years, exchanged vows in the presence of their closest family and friends on February 14.

The newlyweds shared stunning pictures from their traditional wedding, leaving fans captivated. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Priya Banerjee expressed that being married to Prateik does not feel any different since they have been living together for a long time. She said, “Honestly, being married to Prateik and being married doesn’t feel any different. We have been together for a very long time. It has been almost five years, we have lived under the same roof. More than that, I feel like I have known him forever. It feels the same.”

Prateik Babbar echoed similar sentiments, stating, “It feels like I am doing this for the thousandth time. This is like another lifetime, another universe. I feel like I marry her in every lifetime and every universe, and this is another one and there are many more to go.”

And there was absolutely nobody who is family who was missing,” she asserted.
