There has been a distance in the relationship between actor Raj Babbar’s son and step brother Arya Babbar and Prateik Smita Patil for a long time. There is a rift between the two and there is no conversation. Recently, Arya Babbar had mentioned Prateek during one of her stand-up comedy shows, after which the video went viral on social media and their relationship once again came into discussion. Now Arya Babbar has clarified on this matter and said that it was not a joke for her.

Arya Babbar made fun of Prateek Smita Patil
Actually, Arya Babbar had shared a video of her stand-up comedy show on social media, in which she talked about issues like depression and personal struggles. During this, he jokingly mentioned his ‘younger brother’ and said, ‘By younger brother, I do not mean Prateik Babbar.’

After this Arya said, Prateek Smita Patil, because Prateek has now removed the surname ‘Babbar’ from his name and uses the name of his mother Smita Patil. Arya said, ‘What’s happening Smita Maa?’ While sharing the video, he wrote in the caption, ‘No one’s name was changed during the making of this joke.’

After the video went viral, Arya Babbar said in a conversation with Hindustan Times that her stand-up act is based on her battle with depression and is personal. He told that there was a time when he even thought of committing suicide. Arya said, ‘This is the story of that night when I thought of committing suicide, but I survived. The purpose of doing this act is that if today someone is thinking of making such a mistake like me, then maybe I can stop him.

What should Arya say on the issue of ‘Chhota Bhai’?
He said, ‘I was talking about ‘Chhota Bhai’ on the basis of depression. At that time I just said that by ‘Chhota Bhai’ I do not mean Prateek Babbar. Then I remembered that he has changed his name and he says that he should not be called Prateek Babbar. So I immediately corrected myself and said Prateek Smita Patil. The world knows that I always take Smita ji’s name as ‘Smita Maa’, so I said the same. For me it was not a joke, I was just telling one, but the audience saw a humor in it.

Arya Babbar is ready to improve relations
Talking about her bad relationship with Prateek Smita Patil, Arya Babbar said that she is ready to improve the relationship, but for this there should be direct conversation and not through media. He said, ‘Please pick up my phone, I will talk to you.’ He has chosen this method that instead of talking directly to the family, he will talk through the media, then we too are left with no other option.

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.”
