Will make Smita Patil proud, won't rest till I do: Prateik Babbar
Mumbai, Dec 13
On Smita Patil's 30th death anniversary on Tuesday, her son
and actor Prateik vowed to 'make her proud'.
Smita was married to veteran actor and politician Raj Babbar,
with whom she had Prateik. She died at the age of 31 due to childbirth complications.
Remembering his mother, Prateik took to Instagram to share
her photograph and wrote: 'My mother died today! 30 years ago on the 13th of
December... Smita's spirit still lives on, and lives on with pride and honour
and dignity.'
'30 years later, Smita still manages to make an entire country
miss her, be proud of who she was and what she achieved. And the wonderful things
she did for people,' he added.
Prateik says his mother was 'God's child'.
'But then the Gods got greedy and wanted to keep her for themselves.
Yes, they got the better of her. She always made us so proud and will continue
to make us proud and continue to inspire so many,' he said.
'R.I.P. Smita Patil 1955-1986. I love her... As much as I hate
her for never being there,' Prateik said. 'A son of a great woman! A true icon!
A legend! I will make her proud! And I will not rest till I do!'
During her career, Smita featured in films like 'Manthan',
'Bhumika', 'Aakrosh', 'Chakra', 'Chidambaram' and 'Mirch Masala', carving her
niche as an actress with a nose for parallel cinema. She was the recipient of
the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour in 1985.
Over ten of her films were released after her death.
