Raj Babbar has been one of the most popular stars in India who earned respect for his performances in films like Hum Paanch, Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Agar Tum Na Hote, Bodyguard and more. But, amid that, his personal life had its fair share of controversies. Whether he decided to tie the knot with Smita Patil while still being married to Nadira Babbar with two kids or his strained bond with his and Smita’s son, Prateik, everything made headlines. Now, after years, his eldest son, Aarya, recently shared his views on his father’s choice to marry again and their bond over the years.
Aarya Babbar shares his feelings on his father’s second marriage
Raj Babbar is celebrating his birthday on June 23, 2025. On a special occasion, his son, Aarya Babbar, sat down for a conversation with the Times Of India to share some insights about his father and their bond. He shared that he was about five or six years old when he realised the extent of his father’s popularity after watching him more on TV than in-person. He mentioned that their father used to work tirelessly around the clock to ensure that his family and kids could lead a comfortable life in the ’80s and ’90s. Aarya said:
“You know, at that time, our industry ran on the perception that the number of films you do will decide your success rate. So my father was not perhaps there at home as I was growing up because he was so busy giving us a lifestyle and giving us the life that perhaps he wanted to give us as a father, and which he did.”
