Smita Patil Birth Anniversary

"I have lived without my mother my entire life, my heart has been broken," said Prateik Babbar

"You had such a short journey and yet your captivating presence is felt by all whose life you touched," wrote Raj Babbar

On his late mother and veteran actress Smita Patil's 64th birth anniversary, actor Prateik Babbar has shared two photographs remembering her.

Smita Patil died a few weeks after she gave birth to son Prateik Babbar

Smita Patil, known for her contribution to the Eighties' parallel cinema movement and her brilliant-yet-brief career in films, died a month after she gave birth to a son, 31 years ago

Prateik Babbar said: "I have always wanted to celebrate her birthday on a film set as that was a place that breathed life to her passion and who she really was"

Those filmmakers and co-stars fortunate enough to know her closely, still share anecdotes and instances to this day which stand testament to her influential, inspiring yet short-lived contribution to cinema

Prateik Babbar, son of late actress Smita Patil, celebrated his mother's 58th birth anniversary on Thursday by cutting a cake in her memory with special kids from an NGO.
