For all those out there who thought the late and great Smita Patil’s son Prateik had gotten over his wild ways after his recent marriage,  a picture posted on the social media of his wife with him covering her modesty has drawn a lot of flak.

While his father Raj Babbar who is also the President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, refrained from comment, a source close to Babbar spoke about how troubled the parliamentarian-father is by his son’s behaviour. “Prateik has always been uncontrollable. After his mother passed immediately after Prateik’s birth, doting maternal grandparents and his aunt brought up the boy. They spoilt him silly. Raj Babbarji has tried his level best to reason with Prateik. But it doesn’t work.”

A director who recently worked with Prateik says, “Prateik is just a silly boy. Who posts such vulgar pictures of their own wife?  He’s doing it for attention. We should just ignore him.”
