A heartfelt message
Her caption read, 'Some celebrations are full…and some feel incomplete. Today is Raksha Bandhan, and while the joy is here, a part of my heart is still missing.
But life goes on...and NOTHING can change the bond of blood. True blood remains, always.'
Complex family ties
Prateik, the son of
Raj Babbar
and the late
Smita Patil
, was born during Raj's marriage to actress Smita while he was still legally married to Nadira Babbar. Raj and Nadira have two children together—Juhi and Arya Babbar. Although Prateik has occasionally been seen with his half-siblings and father at public events, he chose not to invite them to his wedding with

Honouring his mother's legacy
Amid the family tensions, Prateik decided to drop his father Raj Babbar's surname and adopt the name Prateik Smita Patil as a tribute to his mother's legacy. In an interview with the Times of India, he explained that he wants to be fully identified with his mother's name and the legacy she left behind, without any other association overshadowing it. He expressed that this change marks a fresh chapter in his life, driven by his desire to emulate his mother rather than his father.
However, in April, Juhi Babbar appeared to address the ongoing family buzz by sharing a picture with Prateik and Arya Babbar. She captioned it, 'Raj Babbar Ji Ke Teeno Bacche… JUHI AARYA PRATEIK… A FACT NOBODY CAN CHANGE,' subtly reinforcing their shared bond despite the recent tensions.

16-BHK home, Rs 5000000000 net worth, fleet of luxury cars, here's how Elvish Yadav makes so much money
Early morning calm turned into chaos in Gurgaon's Wazirabad village. Around 5:30 am, unidentified men opened fire outside the house of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav. At the time, his mother was at home. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Police are investigating, but the identity of the shooters remains unknown. Who is Elvish Yadav beyond YouTube? From skits on YouTube to reality show stardom, Elvish has carved his place as a digital celebrity. Known for his witty desi humour, he transformed into a brand that commands crores. According to a 2024 report, his fortune was pegged at Rs 500 crore. His earnings flow in from YouTube, Instagram, sponsorship deals, and brand promotions. Recently, he even stepped into reality shows like Bigg Boss OTT 2, Laughter Chefs Season 2 (where he charged Rs 2 lakh per episode), Roadies, and others. How lavish is his lifestyle? The Gurgaon bungalow where the firing took place is not just any home — it's a 16-bedroom mansion. Elvish also owns an Rs 8 crore house in Mumbai and another property in Dubai. His garage boasts a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon and the electric G580 EQ model, among other luxury cars. Adding to his empire is his clothing line, Systumm Clothing, which has become popular with his fanbase. Music videos and collaborations further add to his wealth. Why does controversy follow him? Elvish's career has often run parallel with scandals. He faced charges linked to a rave party at a Noida farmhouse involving 'snake venom and drugs.' Before that, accusations of assault surfaced, along with backlash during Bigg Boss OTT 2 for alleged racist remarks against finalist Chum Darang. Another case involved him allegedly summoning a Delhi YouTuber to Gurgaon, where the latter was badly beaten. FIRs have been registered in multiple incidents, but Elvish continues to ride both fame and infamy. From viral videos to luxury mansions, Elvish Yadav's rise has been meteoric. But the gunfire incident at his Gurgaon home is a reminder that with money, fame, and controversy comes constant spotlight, and danger.
