Reports are being published and vedio clippings have been shared by leading web portals that Raj Babbar and Smita Patil’ son Prateik Babbar has officially changed his name to Prateik Smita Patil as a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, legendary actress Smita Patil.
According to reports, The Sikandar actor expressed that he wants to be solely associated with her name and legacy. While addressing the change, he and his wife, Priya, chose not to comment on the absence of his father, one of the finest actors of the Indian Film Industry, Raj Babbar.
Speaking about his decision, Prateik said, “I’m just thinking about what makes me and my soul feel better, and what makes my heart smile. I need to be wholly associated with my mother, her name, and her legacy.”
Adding to the decision, Prateik said his surname to ‘Prateik Smita Patil,’ opting to honor his late mother, renowned actress Smita Patil, instead of carrying his father’s name. In a recent interview with a renowned newspaper, Prateik confirmed his decision, saying, “I don’t care about the repercussions.”
He further emphasized, “Aap apna name change kar sakte ho, wajood nahi- You can change your name, but you can’t change your identity. Rahunga tou Babbar hi becasue wajood mera woh hi hai, aap woh kaise change kar sakte ho-I’ll remain a Babbar because my existence is rooted in that; how can you change that?”
So, finally Bollywood Reporter pinged Prateik to know the fact, Prateik Babbar tells, ” No son can deny the immense love for his mother, and when if she is not physically present with you, you desperately miss your mom.”

I can’t change my identity as I will remain Babbar…”
Then Bollywood Reporter could say that the report is a publicity stunt or a half-cooked report and not a fact amid the release of the upcoming film Sikandar.
