It appears on his Instagram account as well. Prateik recently talked openly about his choice to rename the company. He said that with the blessings of his father and his entire family, his late maternal grandparents, and his late mother, he has decided to add his mother’s last name as his middle name, giving birth to his new screen name, ‘Prateik Patil Babbar’.”
Why Did Prateik Change His Name?
The actor told DNA that this choice was “part superstitious, part sentimental,”.

A reminder of her greatness and intelligence”.
In addition, Prateik stated that his mother will be involved in whatever venture he devotes his energies to, not that she wasn’t before, and that the addition of her last name to his name only strengthens this statement.
