Meanwhile, Smita's son Prateik Babbar has now added her surname 'Patil'. He recently got married but chose to not invite his father Raj Babbar and step-siblings Arya and Juhi for it.

On December 10, 1981, Raj Babbar and Smita Patil were married in a quiet ceremony. At the time, Raj was still legally married to Nadira, making Smita his second wife under Hindu personal law.
