Actor-politician Raj Babbar's family has been in the news for some time now. The reason is Raj Babbar's son Prateik Babbar's conflict with his father first, then not inviting his father Raj Babbar to his wedding. Then recently this news gained even more traction when Prateik Babbar removed his father's surname Babbar from his name's surname and changed his name to Prateik Smita Patil. With Prateik taking his mother's name instead of his father's surname, the Babbar family's internal conflict came out even more in the open. Now, Raj Babbar's second son and Prateik Babbar's stepbrother Arya Babbar's reaction has come out on this. He said that no one can give up their identity so easily.
While talking to Hindustan Times, Arya Babbar reacted to Prateik's decision and said, "All I want to say is that Smita Maa is our mother too. Which name he wants to keep and which he doesn't want to keep, is his choice. Tomorrow I change my name from Arya Babbar to Arya or Rajesh, I will still remain Babbar."
Speaking further on this subject and the claims made by Prateik Babbar, Arya Babbar said, "You can change your name, but not your existence. I will remain Babbar only, because my existence is the same. How can you change that? Well, the boy understands how he wants to think about it. Whatever I had to say about this, I have already said it." On the news going on in the media and people's talk, Arya Babbar said, "We are a family that lives in the public eye, so it will be said. We can't do anything about it. These things are a part of this industry. Ultimately, we are public figures."
