Prateik Smita Patil Breaks Silence On Not Inviting Raj Babbar To His Wedding

Tensions within the family had become more apparent following the wedding. Raj Babbar, who married Nadira Babbar in 1975 and later had a relationship with Smita Patil in the 1980s, fathered Prateik in 1986—the same year Smita tragically passed away due to childbirth complications. In an earlier interview with The Times of India, Prateik also revealed that he had officially changed his name to Prateik Smita Patil. “I don’t care about the repercussions… I need to be wholly and solely associated with my mother, her name and her legacy,” he said, expressing a desire to walk in her footsteps rather than those of his father.
