My Take
Prateik Babbar interests me precisely because of the shadow he was born into. Son of the legendary Smita Patil and actor-politician Raj Babbar, he could have coasted on a famous surname. Instead he started as a production assistant and earned a Filmfare Award through his own work. I admire performers who treat a heavy inheritance as a challenge rather than a shortcut. Carrying a beloved parent's legacy is a strange burden, and the grit it takes to carve out your own identity under that weight earns my quiet respect. He strikes me as someone determined to be more than a name.
