Actors Arya Babbar and Prateik Smita Patil have a strained relationship due to their estrangement. Recently, Arya made a joke about Prateik's name in a standup comedy clip, which has sparked controversy.
Arya Babbar, who has recently ventured into standup comedy, released a clip where he talks about depression and makes a reference to his genitalia as 'chota bhai.' He quips, 'And by chota bhai, I don't mean Prateik Babbar.' The audience laughs, and he then says, 'Prateik Smita Patil,' prompting applause.
Arya clarifies that his set is about his depression and talks about his family and its dysfunctionalities. He says, 'I was just stating facts, the audience found humour in it.' Arya acknowledges that his family has always been under public scrutiny and that won't change.
When asked if he wants to bury the hatchet with Prateik, Arya says, 'Wo phone answer kar le, main baat kar lunga.' He adds, 'What I am not okay with is that the first family of Babbar sahab cannot be the villains. Why are you being victimised and we are being called the villains? We are not saying anything to you, we are accepting and respecting you, so why are we the villains?'
