Prateik Babbar wishes grandparents on b'day, says 'People like them aren’t made anymore'

Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar, on Friday, took to his social media handle to extend birthday wishes to his grandparents. Interestingly, the picture-post featured Prateik's late mother Smita Patil's parents Shivajirao and Vidyatai Patil. In the photo, Shivajirao can be seen feeding, presumably, bed-ridded Vidyatai. Giving the context of the picture, Babbar wrote, "It’s my grandparents birthday today.. my real parents".

A peek into Prateik Babbar's family

After the death of his mother, actor Smita Patil, during his birth, Prateik was brought up by his maternal grandparents. On various occasions, he showers love on them while giving a peek into his relationship with them. Last year, in July, on the occasion of his grandfather Shivrajirao's third death anniversary, the Dum Maaro Dum actor had shared a video, in which he can be seen performing pooja in front of his grandfather's photo frame. “3 years since.. rest in power my king.. in paradise” (sic), read his caption. 

Meanwhile, after the death of Smita Patil, her husband and actor Raj Babbar married Nadira Zaheer in 1975. The couple later gave birth to a son, Arya Babbar, and a daughter, Juuhi Babbar. Arya has worked in several Bollywood films while Juhhi tied the knot with popular actor Anup Soni.
