00:00In the roaring politically charged sets of 80s Bollywood, there was an actress who didn't just
00:04enter the room, she owned it. Directors trembled at her gaze, co-actors didn't know what she'd do
00:09next. Men whispered her name in awe and women envied her intensity. She was fearless, magnetic,
00:14untouchable and her heart, well that was the most dangerous thing about her. Allegedly,
00:18she fell in love with a man who was already married, Raj Papar. Their affair shook the
00:22industry. Tabloids screamed, gossip ran wild and some even called her reckless while others called
00:26her revolutionary. Off screen, she was equally fearless. On screen, she tore apart conventions.
00:32Films like Arts, Bhumika, Mirch Masala made other people nervous and women feel seen.
00:36Then came life's cruelest twist. She became pregnant. She dreamed of holding her child in a quiet home
00:41away from cameras and gossip but just two weeks after giving birth to her son, tragedy struck.
00:46She passed away suddenly at the age of 31 and then her name became legendary. I'm talking about
00:51none other than Smita Patel. Years later, after carving his own path in life and love, her son
00:56made a choice that spoke louder than any words could. In March 2025, after his marriage,
01:01he changed his name from Prateek Babbar to Prateek Smita Patel. And it wasn't just a name change,
01:06it was a tribute. Well, Smita Patel's life was a storm, a love, a revolution. And now through
01:11Prateek Smita Patel, her flame continues to burn.
