Prateik Babbar Reveals REAL Reason For Not Inviting Dad Raj Babbar To His Wedding
Prateik Babbar and Priya Banerjee got married in an intimate wedding ceremony on February 14, 2025, at Prateik's late mother Smita Patil's house in Mumbai. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends during the celebration. However, Raj Babbar, Arya Babbar and Juhi Babbar were not invited to the wedding, and this created a stir on social media. The actor has now revealed the real reason why he didn't invite Raj Babbar and his family.
Prateik told Zoom, 'My father's wife (Nadira) and my mother (Smita Patil) had some complications in the past, lots of things have been said in the press and stuff like that, if you dig out 38-40 years ago. I was open to doing something with my father and his family for another function."
'I just thought it was unethical to have him and his family at that house after everything had went on between them. Absolutely, it wasn't right. The right thing to do was what we did, and then if, obviously, now circumstances are different, everything has gone South, and it's extremely complicated. But it's not for me. I'm still the same," the actor mentioned.
He added, 'It wasn't about rejecting anyone. It was about respecting my mother and her wishes… I'm sorry my father and his wife could not be there, could not be in the house my mother bought for me to grow up and live a life as a single mother. She wanted to live in that house with me as a single mother. Bring me up. I'm sorry."
'That was the best decision my wife and I made. And it could have been a very, very subtle scenario, and everything could have been subtle. But people are impulsive, people make impulsive choices and say things out of impulse, and it was just distasteful, and I think that bitter taste has remained," he concluded.

INDIA'S PRIDE: Bharata Muni's Natya Shastra
Last month, when UNESCO announced the latest additions to its Memory of the World Register, there was jubilation in India. Of the 74 items inscribed, two hailed from India—Bharatamuni's Natya Shastra and the Bhagavad Gita, one of India's most revered spiritual texts. For millions, this was not only a recognition of India's cultural depth but also an affirmation of its enduring contribution to global heritage. The Memory of the World Register is a UNESCO initiative to preserve and provide access to the world's most precious documentary heritage. As of 2025, it holds over 500 inscriptions, now including India's two monumental texts. A Timeless Text on the Arts For the uninitiated, the Natya Shastra is a centuries-old Sanskrit treatise authored by Sage Bharata (Bharata Muni). It is regarded as a treasure trove on the performing arts—covering dramaturgy, music, dance, theatre, stage architecture, acting techniques, and aesthetics. Among its most significant contributions is the theory of Rasa—the philosophy of evoking moods and emotions in audiences through performance. The influence of this monumental work extends far beyond India. It shaped South and Southeast Asian performing arts and even influenced architecture. The Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur famously depicts most of the dance poses (karanas) described in the text. Because of such contributions, India is often referred to as Prachi Sudha—'Nectar of the East'—celebrated for its rich traditions of music and dance. The UNESCO recognition, many believe, strengthens this reputation. Pride—and a Sense of Delay The honour has been warmly welcomed, though many in the art community feel it came later than it should have. As one dancer remarked, 'This recognition was long overdue. The Natya Shastra deserved this place on the world stage years ago.' Still, the consensus is clear: better late than never. Across India and the world, the text is studied in academic institutions where classical dance and theatre are taught. Yet the recognition prompted many to ask: have we given the Natya Shastra the attention it deserves at home? Voices from the Dance World Padma Bhushan awardees and Kuchipudi legends Raja and Radha Reddy called the honour 'a moment of great pride and inspiration.' They noted that Indian classical dance, a holistic blend of drama, music, poetry, and storytelling, draws its very framework from the Natya Shastra. Celebrated Bharatanatyam dancer Alarmel Valli echoed the sentiment: 'That UNESCO has finally recognised this timeless text is a matter of pride for Indians everywhere. The Natya Shastra is a fountainhead of aesthetics and performance, inseparable from the cultural forms of India and Southeast Asia.' She highlighted its unique duality—providing a rich vocabulary and grammar for performers while leaving space for individuality and creative exploration. Dance scholar Arshiya Sethi, Founder of the Kri Foundation, remarked: 'This recognition makes the Natya Shastra a global inheritance. It highlights the antiquity of Indian knowledge systems, which organised and preserved wisdom in a manner unparalleled among ancient cultures.' The Challenge of Dissemination While academic institutions include the text in syllabi, private dance schools and home-based training often overlook it. Students practice art forms deeply rooted in the Natya Shastra without engaging with the text itself. Barriers include the language of Sanskrit and the paucity of time—since most schoolchildren already juggle heavy workloads alongside dance lessons. Experts suggest a balanced solution: dance teachers should introduce students to the text, offer an overview, and spark curiosity, leaving deeper study to motivated learners. As Yamini Krishnamurthy and Sanjukta Panigrahi—actively sought both practical and theoretical knowledge years ago. Similarly, today's students should be encouraged to engage with the text to understand the roots of their art. The Reddys emphasise that without a grounding in theory, performance risks losing its 'soul.' They advise teachers: 'Introduce students—even at a young age—to the text and its concepts. When dancers know where their art comes from, their expression becomes more meaningful.' Beyond Classical Dance The Natya Shastra is not confined to classical traditions. As Arshiya Sethi insightfully notes, it also resonates with Indian cinema, today's most powerful form of drama. 'If one limits Bharata's work to classical forms alone, one misses its essence. The Natya Shastra is about dramaturgy, and Indian cinema—with its songs, dances, and stories—is the modern continuation of that tradition. The text is ever open to reinterpretation and application.' This observation widens the horizon: far from being a relic of the past, the Natya Shastra remains a living, evolving body of knowledge that shapes both heritage and contemporary popular culture. Looking Ahead The UNESCO honour ensures greater global recognition for India's performing arts. It will likely inspire more seminars, workshops, and academic courses both in India and abroad. Yet, as many artistes emphasise, the deeper responsibility lies within India itself—to popularise, teach, and engage with the Natya Shastra at all levels. For now, however, celebration is in order. The Natya Shastra has finally received the recognition it has long deserved. Its inscription on the Memory of the World Register is not just a validation of India's past but also a beacon for its future—reminding us that the aesthetics, wisdom, and creativity encoded in Bharata's text are as relevant today as they were centuries ago.

Ramayana: Sunny Deol Praises Ranbir Kapoor As Ram, Says 'He's Such A Fine Actor'
Last Updated: Sunny Deol on playing Hanuman in Ramayana: admits nervousness, praises Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, and hopes film delivers Hollywood-level effects. Veteran actor Sunny Deol is gearing up to step into one of the most iconic roles of his career — that of Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of Ramayana. In a recent conversation with Zoom, Sunny opened up about his role, his excitement, his fears, and his admiration for co-star Ranbir Kapoor, who will be essaying Lord Ram. On Taking Up Hanuman's Role Sunny revealed that he hasn't started filming yet but will begin work on the film 'very shortly." Talking about his emotions as he prepares for the epic role, he said, 'It will be exciting, it will be fun. It's going to be great, it's going to be beautiful." However, he admitted there is also nervousness that comes with portraying such a revered character, 'See, nervousness or fear – that factor is there. But that's the beauty of it, because you have to find within yourself how you're going to take up the challenge and how you're going to live up to it. And you're getting the opportunity to do it, and I'm very sure Amit, the producer, they're doing a great job of it." Hoping for Hollywood-Level Visuals The actor further expressed his hope that Tiwari's Ramayana will match the scale and spectacle of international cinema, 'Because they are going to bring out those supernatural things and those effects on screen, which I hope – fingers crossed – are nothing less than what Hollywood has. I mean, how many times has it been made, and how many Ramlilas happen? When it comes to the big screen, the way all the actors involved in it are performing, I'm sure there will be justice to everything, and people will feel satisfied and enjoy the whole film." On Co-Star Ranbir Kapoor Sunny was full of praise for Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Ram in the film, 'It's going to be great because he's such a fine actor, and he always takes up a project and lives it completely." Screen Time and Sequels Reports last month suggested that Sunny Deol's Hanuman will have less than half an hour of screen presence in Ramayana: Part 1. The film will reportedly conclude with Hanuman's arrival, where he pledges to help Lord Ram rescue Goddess Sita from Ravana. The larger arc of Hanuman's journey, sources say, will unfold in Ramayana: Part 2, where Sunny is expected to have a far more prominent role. The Bigger Picture Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film boasts a star-studded cast with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Produced by Madhu Mantena and Allu Aravind, Ramayana is shaping up to be one of the grandest projects ever attempted in Indian cinema. The first instalment, Ramayana: Part 1, is slated for a Diwali 2026 release, while the second chapter will follow in Diwali 2027. Earlier this year, Ranbir Kapoor too expressed his excitement, saying he was approaching the role with utmost sincerity and discipline, even altering his lifestyle to align with the spiritual responsibility of portraying Lord Ram. Meanwhile, Sunny's entry as Hanuman has further raised anticipation, given his towering screen presence and iconic 'dhai kilo ka haath" persona that audiences have long celebrated. With cutting-edge technology, a legendary mythological tale, and a dream ensemble cast, Ramayana is being touted as India's answer to Hollywood's epic franchises. As Sunny put it best, 'When it comes to the big screen, I'm sure there will be justice to everything, and people will feel satisfied and enjoy the whole film."
