Raj Babbar’s son Arya Babbar had recently accused his stepbrother Prateek Smita Patil of using his father only for money. Now Prateek has responded to Arya through a cryptic post on Instagram. It seems that the actor has taken a dig at Arya’s career in this post.

Pratik gave a befitting reply to Arya Babbar
A few days after Arya’s interview surfaced, Prateek re-shared a post shared by his wife Priya Banerjee. The post read, “If bills were paid with false information, some people might have succeeded after all.” Along with this, Prateek also added the hashtag IYKYK (If you know, you know). Although the couple did not directly take Arya’s name in the post, it seems that it was in response to Arya’s latest comment against Prateek.

What did Arya say?
Recently, in an interview given to Vicky Lalwani, Arya had told that his family maintained their relationship with Prateek very carefully for years, but after his divorce from his first wife, Prateek suddenly broke contact with her and never responded to her messages. Arya also accused Prateek that he used to contact his father only for financial help. He said, “It’s like when your career is not going well and you need pocket money from your father to survive, then he is your father. When you want to live in the house which your father bought for Smita Ma, then he is your father. When you want to avail all the facilities, then he is your father. But when you have to accept and respect him in front of the society, then he is not your father. What is this? What is this? Like an elder brother. In form, I love him, but when he is wrong, he is wrong, and this is where he is wrong.”

He further said, “It is very sad that Smita Maa, for whom my father left his family, today the same Smita Maa’s son is not ready to accept her as his father. What could be a bigger tragedy than this?” He said, “As an elder brother, I will be with him, but if I am asked whether I can hug and love him in the same way, then probably not.”

Why did Prateek’s relationship with his father Raj Babbar deteriorate?
The relationship between Prateek and his father Raj Babbar has always been complicated. The actor’s mother, Smita Patil, died a few days after his birth. Prateik remained close to his father and Raj Babbar’s first family for many years, but it is said that their relationship turned sour when he decided to change his name from Prateik Babbar to Prateik Smita Patil. He did not even invite his father or his family to his second marriage.
