Actor Prateik Babbar got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Sanya Sagar in Lucknow on Monday. The 31-year-actor also shared a photo on Instagram, which he captioned: "Holy snappp!.. that just happened!" Sanya, who is a writer-director, wore a pink
lehenga and Prateik complemented her in a white
kurta-pyjama teamed with a pink brocade jacket. "Sanya and I, along with our families, decided that something as pure as love should be solemnised on an auspicious day and what better day than Basant Panchami. She's the best partner I could have asked for. It didn't take me long to figure out that she was the one for me," Prateik told
Mumbai Mirror after the engagement ceremony.
Take a look at Prateik's cryptic engagement announcement:
Prateik and Sanya have known each other for eight years but the
Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na actor proposed to Sanya last year in Goa. The couple have not decided the wedding date yet and Prateik told
Mumbai Mirror: "We want to enjoy this courtship period for a year or two; Sanya will shuttle between Mumbai and Lucknow. We haven't thought about the wedding yet, but if I had my way, I would love a beach wedding or a simple temple wedding."
"I've been mentally ready for marriage for a while now as I believe it gives a relationship substance. Nothing will change, life will only get even more beautiful," he added.
Prateik Babbar is the son of Smita Patil and Raj Babbar. Actors Arya and Juhi Babbar (born to Nadira and Raj Babbar) are his half-siblings. Prateik, who recently
opened about his battle with drug abuse, was lasts seen in 2015 film
Umrika. His upcoming projects are Anubhav Sinha's
Mulk, co-starring Rishi Kapoor and
Baaghi 2 with Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani.
