“Happy Father’s Day to my rational godfather”
Prateik shared a picture with his grandfather and expressed gratitude for the years they spent together.“Happy Father’s Day to my rational godfather. Words cannot express how lucky I am to have you as my father and grandfather. I am forever grateful and grateful for your love and the years I spent with you in this physical world. The older I get, the more I realize that you are the greatest, most dignified person I have ever known in my life,” he wrote.The actor went on to thank his grandfather for raising him and shaping him into the person he is today.“Thank you for raising me and instilling in me your extraordinary values. I am most proud to be a part of your extraordinary legacy. I will celebrate you every day until our souls are united again and then we will celebrate your infinity together, PA. Rest in peace,” he added.
Complicated relationship with Raj Babar
While Prateik’s Father’s Day post focused entirely on his grandfather, there is ongoing public interest in his relationship with Raj Babar.Although neither father and son have publicly discussed the current status of their relationship in detail, many were surprised when Raj Babar skipped Prateik’s wedding celebrations last February.In recent years, Prateik has become increasingly accepting of his mother’s legacy. The actor was previously known as Prateik Babbarchanged his name to Prateik Smita Patil and updated his Instagram profile to reflect the change.
Arya Babar The remarks sparked heated debate
The topic came up again last month when Prateik’s half-brother Arya Babbar spoke about it in an interview.“When you want all the benefits, then he is your father. But when you have to acknowledge him and respect him in front of society, then he is not your father. What is that? I love him as a brother, but when he’s wrong, he’s wrong, and this is where he’s wrong,” Arya said.
Platek often talks about his childhood
For those unfamiliar, the relationship between Smita Patil and Raj Babbar attracted considerable attention in the 1980s, as Raj married theater veteran Nadira Babbar after falling in love with Smita. Raj and Nadira are the parents of actors Arya Babbar and Juhi Babbar.Smita Patil died of complications during childbirth in 1986, shortly before Prateik was born. He was subsequently raised primarily by his maternal grandparents and extended family.Over the years, the actor has spoken candidly about the emotional challenges of growing up without his mother and navigating a complicated relationship with his father. In multiple interviews, he has credited his grandparents for providing him with stability, love and a strong value system while he was growing up.
