A recent viral video featuring singer Stebin Ben, his wife Nupur Sanon and his parents sparked speculation online after many social media users claimed that Stebin’s mother had ignored Nupur and her family while leaving a venue. The clip quickly fuelled rumours of tension between the newlyweds’ families.
Stebin has now addressed the controversy, clarifying what actually happened and defending his parents. Speaking to Galatta India, he said, “My parents are very simple people. Whenever they see the media, they quietly move away because they feel that the media is there for me, not for them. They think, ‘This is your profession. People want to see you, not us.’ My parents didn’t know the media was standing there. The moment they saw the flashlights, they just started walking ahead. I told them, ‘It’s okay, you go ahead, we’ll come behind.’ Nupur tried to stop them, but they didn’t even realise someone was calling them. They just thought, ‘Media hai, chalo nikalte hain.'”
The singer also rubbished claims that there is any friction between his family and Nupur. Sharing an insight into their bond, he added, “People are saying Nupur got a dangerous mother-in-law, but it’s exactly the opposite. If you meet my parents, you’ll understand they’re the most simple people. Their whole life revolves around their children. My parents wanted to retire and settle in Kerala because they loved the plantations and the peaceful life there. But they decided to stay with us because we insisted. Their life revolves around their children. If Indians want to know what my mother and Nupur’s relationship is like, here’s the answer -whenever we play games at home, my mother and Nupur are always on the same team. My father and I are on the other side. That’s the kind of bond they share.”
Stebin Ben and actor Nupur Sanon, who is actress Kriti Sanon’s sister, were in a relationship for several years before tying the knot in January 2026. The couple celebrated their wedding in Udaipur with both Christian and Hindu ceremonies attended by close friends and family.
