Below his mother’s name, he has also inked her birth year, which was followed by the symbol of ‘infinity’. Prateik Babbar had decided to follow his mother’s footsteps into acting after he made his debut in Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. Smita Patil had herself worked in many hit films during her prime, before her untimely death at a very young age. While she predominantly worked in Hindi films, she also has a long list of regional Indian films under her belt. These include Ghulami, Meraa Ghar Mere Bachche and many more. 

On the other hand, Prateik has also starred in quite a few hit films in the last few years. These include Dum Maaro Dum, Dhobi Ghat, Mulk, Darbar, Baaghi 2 and many more. He was recently seen in the film Mumbai Saga, which starred John Abraham and Emraan Hashmi, among others. Babbar also has a few other highly anticipated upcoming projects, including Brahmastra, Bachchan Pandey among others.
