The Babbar family has been making headlines with ongoing controversy surrounding actor Prateik Babbar and his father, veteran actor-politician Raj Babbar. Speculation about a rift intensified when Prateik did not invite his father to his wedding with Priya Banerjee. Adding fuel to the fire, Prateik changed his surname to 'Prateik Smita Patil,' opting to honor his late mother, renowned actress Smita Patil, instead of carrying his father’s name. Prateik’s half-brother, actor Aarya Babbar, has now responded to the controversy.
