Actor Prateik Smita Patil ek baar phir chha gaye hain kyunki Babbar family ke andar tension badh raha hai, jabke unke half-brother Aarya Babbar ne unpar serious allegations lagaye hain. Controversy tab shuru hua jab Aarya ne ek recent interview mein Prateik par unke pitaji Raj Babbar ka financial exploitation karne ka accusation lagaya aur unki family ke saath inconsistent relationship ki baat kahe. Iske jawab mein, Prateik ki wife, actor Priya Banerjee ne apne Instagram Stories par ek cryptic message share kiya, jise Prateik ne bhi apne social media par reshare kiya. Us post mein likha tha, *“If misinformation paid bills, some people would finally be successful. #IYKYK,”* jisse logon ne uske target ko lekar speculation shuru kar di.
Aarya Babbar ke remarks, journalist Vickey Lalwani ke interview mein, family ke andar ke fractured dynamics ka picture dikhaya. Unhone kaha ki Prateik unke pitaji Raj Babbar se tab tak contact mein rehte hain jab tak unhe financial support ya benefits ki zaroorat hoti hai, jaise ki ek house jo Raj ne Prateik ki late mother Smita Patil ke liye kharida tha. Lekin Aarya ka claim hai ki Prateik family ke saath emotional ties maintain karne ya Raj Babbar ko publicly acknowledge karne mein farak rehte hain. *“It’s like, when your career is not doing well, and you need pocket money from dad to survive, then he is your father. When you want to live in the house that your father bought for Smita maa, then he is your father. When you want all the benefits, then he is your father. But when you have to acknowledge him and give him respect in front of society, then he is not your father. What is that?”* Aarya ne kaha, aur yeh transactional aur conditional relationship hai.
Aarya ne apni disappointment bhi zikr ki jab Prateik ne divorce hone ke baad family se connection kam kar diya. Unhone kaha ki unhone Prateik ko repeatedly call aur text karke connect karne ki koshish ki, lekin koi response nahi mila. *“We didn’t understand when he suddenly stopped connecting with us as soon as his divorce from his ex-wife was sorted. I texted him, called him so many times, but no response,”* Aarya ne yaad kiya. Unhone family ke dynamics mein aaye badlav ka bhi zikr kiya, jismein Prateik ki wife Priya Banerjee bhi shamil hain, jinse family ka shuru mein achha rishta tha. Aarya ne apne love ko zikr karte hue kaha ki galat cheezon ko acknowledge karna zaroori hai. *“As an elder brother, I love him, but when he is wrong, he is wrong, and this is where he is wrong,”* unhone kaha. Aarya ne kaha ki woh Prateik se kuchh distance maintain karenge, lekin unke pitaji aur behen Juhi reconciliation ke liye khule ho sakte hain.
Family ki history pehle se hi public interest ka subject rahi hai, khas taur par Raj Babbar ke multiple marriages ki wajah se. Smita Patil, jo India ke best actors mein se ek hain, Raj ki second wife thi. Raj Nadira se pehle se hi shaadi shuda the, jo ek theatre actor-director thi, aur unke do bachche the: Aarya aur Juhi. Smita ki tragic death ke baad, Prateik ko unke maternal grandparents ne paala, aur shuru mein unka Raj ke saath minimal contact tha. Time ke saath Raj aur Prateik reconcile hue, lekin recent years mein tension badh gaya, jab Prateik ne apni shaadi Priya Banerjee ke saath nahi invite kiya. Is saal Prateik ne officially apna naam Prateik Smita Patil rakha apni late mother ko tribute dene ke liye.
Recent social media exchange ne family ki public image aur har member ke portrayal par phir se discussions shuru kar diye hain. Aarya ne kaha ki pehle family ko negative tarike se dikhaya jaata hai. *“We become villains, and the world paints Prateik like a victim,”* unhone kaha, aur yeh imbalance unko pareshan kar rahi hai. Controversy ke bawajood, Prateik professionally active hain aur recent mein Telugu action thriller *HIT: The Third Case* mein Nani ke saath kaam kiya hai.
Na Prateik aur na hi Priya Banerjee ne Aarya ke allegations ya cryptic post ko directly address kiya hai. Message ki ambiguity ne logon ko speculation karne par majboor kar diya hai, aur bahut se social media users ne isko ongoing family feud se connect kiya hai. Yeh situation entertainment industry mein public scrutiny aur personal relationships manage karne ki challenges ko reflect karti hai.
