Prateik Smita Patil and Priya Banerjee got married on February 14 in an intimate ceremony this year. After exploring various locations, Prateik and Priya hosted their private wedding at the actor's late mother Smita Patil's Bandra house. During an interaction with Nayandeep Rakshit, the couple shared they zeroed in on the house after Smita Patil came in Priya's dream.
What's Happening
Priya said, "For me, getting married at home was a priority. I told him that if you want a big wedding, then we are not getting married." Prateik chimed in and said they decided to get married at his ancestral place after his mother came in Priya's dreams.
He said, "Priya is forgetting the main thing, she had a dream about my mother, and my mother said you better get married in this house," he shared.
Priya chose to put her dreams into words like this, "No, she didn't say 'you better get married.' You are just making it up. It's literally nothing. You know how dreams are very odd. You don't really understand. I literally had a moment where I was like it should be done in this house and that's it. It was in a dream, yes, but dreams are very odd, and you have to make of it what it means to you."
Priya shared that she realized that the house holds a special place, where Smita Patil wanted to live with her son before her untimely death, after having the dream.
Priya shared, "I knew this house was meant for him and his mother. She wanted to live her life with him in that house. So, I thought this is her dream-this house. She's not here with us, but if we do it here, at least we feel that she's with us. It just felt like she was around. And all the 42 people present at the wedding mentioned that they felt her around." Prateik added, "It was a full circle moment."
