He is the son of the late actress Smita Patil and actor-politician Raj Babbar. His mother died from childbirth complications when he was an infant, and he has said he grew up largely with his maternal grandparents.

He began his career as a production assistant before moving into acting, and he first appeared in television commercials, including one for Nestle KitKat, on the recommendation of filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar.

Prateik Smita Patil made his acting debut in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na (2008). He drew critical attention for his performances in Dhobi Ghat and My Friend Pinto, and appeared in commercially notable projects such as Dum Maaro Dum and Aarakshan.

In March 2025, he changed his legal name from Prateik Patil Babbar to Prateik Smita Patil, dropping his father’s surname to honour his late mother. This decision reportedly drew public criticism from his half-brother Aarya Babbar.

He is the son of actress Smita Patil and actor-politician Raj Babbar. His mother died from childbirth complications weeks after his birth, and he was subsequently raised in Mumbai by his maternal grandparents.

Career

Prateik Smita Patil began his journey in the entertainment industry as a production assistant before stepping in front of the camera.

Prior to his acting debut, he appeared in a number of television commercials, including one for Nestle KitKat, after being spotted by filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar. He made his acting debut in 2008 with Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, a role that introduced him to Bollywood audiences and earned him early recognition as a promising newcomer.

He went on to build a reputation for choosing offbeat and critically acclaimed projects alongside mainstream commercial work. His performance in the drama Dhobi Ghat drew praise from critics, as did his turn in the romantic comedy My Friend Pinto. In 2011, he appeared in two commercially notable films, the crime thriller Dum Maaro Dum and the political drama Aarakshan, further establishing his range as an actor willing to move between genres.

The years that followed brought a string of box-office disappointments, a period he has since spoken about candidly, including his struggles with substance abuse during that stretch of his career. He found his way back into the spotlight with a series of successful releases, including the action thriller Baaghi 2 in 2018, the coming-of-age comedy-drama Chhichhore in 2019, and the action drama Darbar in 2020.
