How Prateik Babbar And Priya Banerjee Honoured Smita Patil At Their Wedding

When actors Prateik Babbar and Priya Banerjee tied the knot this Valentine’s Day, little did we know that their wedding would be going in our permanent inspiration folder.

For starters, the groom ditched traditional menswear options for the wedding and opted for an artfully draped Tarun Tahiliani outfit. Then there were all the ways the couple chose to keep Prateik’s late mother’s memory alive for the wedding.

We’ve seen many heartfelt and creative ways that people can honour their dear departed ones on one of the most special days of their lives. Prateik and Priya, too, included her memory in many special ways throughout the ceremony. The couple chose to get married in the house that belonged to the legendary actress.

A beautiful black and white portrait of Smita Patil was kept near the couple at the mandap, making it seem like she was watching over them as they took their first steps into this new chapter of their lives.

Aside from these, Priya’s mangalsutra also had a special Smita Patil connection. According to Filmfare, the bride’s mangalsutra was crafted from the groom’s mother’s earrings, which she was meant to wear after Prateik’s birth.

The heartwarming detail can be a unique and special way to ensure those who aren’t with you still find a way to remain close to your heart for years.
