Actor Prateik Babbar, who has been struggling to find his bearings, is finally in a happy and peaceful space as he is all set to tie the knot with fiance Sanya Sagar. The actor who is awaiting the release of his next ‘Mulk’ has revealed when he plans to settle down.
The duo had exchanged rings at an extremely private ceremony last January in Lucknow, at Sanya’s hometown and the actor in an interview to Mid-day revealed, “Right now, we are busy with our respective careers. We might settle down next year. She has brought a lot of stability in my life and I am thankful for that.”
Sanya is a writer-director. The two have known each other for over eight years. Prateik and Sanya’s Instagram accounts are full of loved-up, as well as funky pictures with each other and the way in which they announced their engagement was equally hilarious. Posting a picture, the duo captioned it, “Holy snap! That just happened!”.
On the professional front, Prateik’s cocaine-snorting bad boy act in the blockbuster ‘Baaghi 2’ has got him back into the reckoning, although as he says a majority of his role was cut. Prateik now has Anubhav Sinha’s hard-hitting political drama ‘Mulk’ where he plays a terror accused. ‘Mulk‘ releases on August 3.
“It’s the role of the boy who’s gone astray. When I heard it I immediately wanted to do it. There’s so much pain and hurt and persecution embodied in the part. Muslims are looked on in a particular way with suspicion and distrust for no fault of theirs. It is a very frightening situation. Anubhav Sir has captured the turmoil of the community, and I was more than happy to be part of the film,” says Prateik happily.
Prateik says love has changed his life. “I am more at peace, able to focus on my work and I’ve someone to go back to at the end of the day. I am very clear about keeping my professional and personal lives apart. I will never allow the two to clash. Of course, she is also part of the cinema. She is an editor, writer, and a filmmaker. But her priorities are very different from mine. We are very different people. And yet we’ve so much in common.”
Completely besotted by love, Prateik promises marriage very soon. “We are definitely getting married in the first few months of 2019. I know this is for keeps.”
