Prateik Smita Patil reveals a custody battle between Raj Babbar and Smita's family followed his birth: ‘Kaun maa, kaun baap'
Smita Patil and Raj Babbar's son Prateik has changed his last name a few time since the last decade or so but now, he has chosen to go with Prateik Smita Patil, in the honour of his late mother. In a recent interview, Prateik shared that soon after his birth, when his mother passed away, there was a custody battle for him, and even after his mother's side got his custody, there were discussions about Prateik's last name, which at that time, was decided to be Babbar. In a video shared on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Prateik shared that a custody battle ensued after his birth, and there was a controversy around his last name. 'I was born Prateik. There was a custody battle for me from my mom's side of the family and my father's side of the family. My mom's side won. There was still a battle for the surname. Finally, in the passport, it was 'Prateik Smit Babbar'. It wasn't even Smita, so growing up I was 'Prateik Smit Babbar'. In school, everyone thought I was Christian because they would wonder 'why Smit?', no one cared for Babbar. Everyone just called me Smit,' he said. Prateik said that in his first film, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, he was credited as 'Prateik Babbar' but subsequently, he went with just 'Prateik' for a few years. 'In my first film, my name was Prateik Babbar and then the devil got the better of me and I started thinking 'Kaun hai maa? Kaun hai baap? (Who is mom? Who is dad?)' Then I started thinking, 'I don't want to be Patil, I don't want to be Babbar. I want to be just Prateik.' For a few films, I was only Prateik because I was bitter about my parents. I was like, I don't want to belong to them. They have only given me trauma my entire life. I don't want to belong to them and then I continued with Prateik,' he said.
