Actor Prateik Babbar was forced to delete a semi-nude photo of himself with his newly-wed wife Sanya Sagar after the actor faced brutal trolling on internet. Prateik, who tied the knot with Sanya in January this year, had posted a photo of himself with seemingly topless wife on Instagram on the Valentine’s Day.
However, as expected, the actor began to face merciless trolling as many accused him of seeking cheap publicity at the cost his wife. Faced with public outrage, Prateik deleted the photo.
In the photo, Prateik is seen holding his wife by covering her modesty by wearing only his undergarment. His wife too is seen only in her thong as she attempts to click a selfie in front of a mirror. His caption read, “More like it!.. happy valentines!”
One user, according to India.com website, asked, “How can you pose for such a pic?,” while another wrote, “Really awful. Just for publicity.”
Both Prateik and Sanya got married on 23 January with the former’s actor-politician father Raj Babbar attending the function in Lucknow, the home town of Sanya. Both have dated each other for over a decade.
Prateik is Raj Babbar’s son from his first wife late Smita Patil. Raj Babbar also has two children, Juhi and Aarya, from his second wife Nadira Zaheer.
