The rescue team stabilised the patient before initiating the evacuation process
Of his debut film Janee Tu... Ya Jaane Na, Prateik says with a sheepish grin, “I don’t think of it as my debut. I was doing production work with Prahlad Kakar and at the same time did some auditions. I just got an opportunity to do this role and I accepted it.”
“Dad was very upset,”
says Prateik. “He said, ‘How dare you do this without asking me?’ But I had already signed the film and I didn’t feel like backing off. Sometimes you feel that this is the right thing to do. I had that feeling about this film.”
About mom Smita, he says wistfully, “I don’t know if I am like her, but I am told that my eyes and my smile are like mom’s. I just hope that I am loved the way she was by everyone.”
His favourite Smita Patil films are Chakra and Mirch Masala. “She was very intense in both.
She reached out to all kinds of audiences,” he says. But Prateik has learned from Raj Babbar too. “Dad is very hard working. I want to be like that. I just want him to be happy with my work,” he hopes.
He is aware of people’s expectations. “I have to work twice as hard and give it my best shot,” he shrugs.
Surprisingly, Prateik wanted to be a cricketer.
“I couldn’t think beyond it. But then suddenly I stopped playing and now I am here... to do my best,” he says.
Arya and Juhi Babbar haven’t been very successful in their Bollywood innings, but Prateik defends the family, “I don’t know how people judge success, but I know he’s a great guy and a great brother.
He has done good work, too.”
