Raj Babbar never gave Smita Patil what he had promised

Smita Patil's sister discloses in an interview that Smita never got what Raj Babbar had promised to her. Bollywood Actress Smita Patil,the most talented actress who nurtured and cherished the art movement in its nascent stages in India. Smita Patil had a very painful married life and the tragedies that she played in screen was in her real life too.She belongs to a generation of actresses, including Shabana Azmi and, like her, who are strongly associated with the radically political cinema of the 1970s. Filmmakers who got an opportunity to work with her claim that no actress can match her finesse in acting.But it's sure no talent can match Smita's talent and powerful performance on screen. Actor Raj Babbar's wife and Prateik's mother, Smita passed away at the age of 31.Her work includes films with parallel cinema directors like Shyam Benegal,Govind Nihalani, Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen as well as forays into the more commercial Hindi film industry cinema of Mumbai.Smita mastered the art of hiding a heartbreak. Smita made her debut in Shyam Benegal's childrens' film, Charandas Chor in 1974. Fortunately for Smita, she entered films at a time when there was a struggle brewing against the shackles of commercial cinema. And Smita found she fitted right into the new idiom espoused by a select few.
