More about the family

The feud between the family became visible when Prateik got married to Priya Banerjee on February 14 and didn’t invite the Babbar family to the wedding. Raj Babbar first married Nadira Babbar in 1975, and he shares two children, Juhi Babbar and Arya Babbar. He later tied the knot with Smita Patil in 1983 and welcomed their son, Prateik Babbar, in 1986. However, Smita passed away the same year due to childbirth complications. Raj and Nadira reconciled a few years later

Later, in an interview with The Times of India, Prateik revealed that he has changed his name ‘Prateik Smita Patil’. He said, “I don't care about the repercussions. All I care about is the way I feel when I hear that name. I need to be wholly and solely associated with my mother (Smita Patil), her name and her legacy. I don't think any other name needs to taint that legacy, if you understand what I mean. It needs to just be her name and her legacy. That's what I'm striving to be. I'm striving to be like my mother and not like my dad”.

Reacting to Prateik’s decision to change his surname, Aarya old Hindustan Times, “I just have to say that Smita ma is our mother too. And what name he doesn't want to keep and what name he wants to keep is his choice. Kal ko main uthke apna naam Aarya Babbar se Aarya karlun, ya Rajesh kar lun. Main tab bhi Babbar hi rahunga na (Tomorrow, if I wake up and change my name from Aarya Babbar to just Aarya, or even Rajesh, I'll still be a Babbar, won't I?). Aap apna name change kar sakte ho, wajood nahi (You can change your name, but you can't change your identity)”.
