Prateik Babbar, son of Raj Babbar and Smita Patil, believes souls choose their parents and consciously chose his mother despite hardships. He feels this life clears his karma and hopes to reunite with his late mother after death. Prateik honors her by adding 'Smita Patil' to his name.
Growing up as the child of two renowned Bollywood actors,
Raj Babbar
and
Smita Patil
, brought both privileges and complexities for Prateik. After losing his mother at birth, he was raised by his maternal grandparents.
In a recent interview, Prateik reflected on his spiritual beliefs, saying that souls choose their parents, and by that understanding, he consciously chose his life and his mother.
Choosing a Life of Hardships
Talking to Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Prateik said, 'Well, I chose this life and this battle. I chose a mother that would leave, and it's because I wanted these hardships. The reason I wanted those hardships was because, I went through multiple lifetimes making mistakes.
This could be the life where I chose my mother and before coming here we made a deal that we live this life together but the deal was 'no, you die, I suffer, I go through these hardships only because I don't want to come back here again.
We don't want to do this again so I feel like I am clearing all my karma in this lifetime.'
Spiritual Bond and Desire to Reunite
The actor shared more about his profound spiritual bond with his late mother, expressing his wish to reunite with her after this life.

Prabhas' first film since the success of Kalki 2898 AD - The Raja Saab - has seen its fair share of delays. After the film missed its April 2025 release, there was speculation that the makers are targeting a release timed for the 2025-26 festive season. On Tuesday, the producers put the speculations to rest with the announcement of the new release date for the film.
