I just watched the new movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. I so wanted to check this movie out for various reasons; first & foremost for this had a cameo by Smita Patil’s son Prateik Babbar. A glimpse of this young man & you know he is her son; you don’t have to know his name for that matter! He has that grief in his eyes which was seen in hers. This young man brought back lots of sad memories about the yesteryear actress. In Maharashtrians they say a baby is fortunate if a boy looks like his mom & a girl looks like her dad. I feel sad for this boy, how can I say he is fortunate if he never ever got to see his mom or hold her hand? I mean I am sure God has better things in store for him & life will always make upto his loss, but can anything really make up for spending a childhood without his mother around? Can any kind of success make up for the trauma he must have faced as a kid/adolescent? Life can certainly be cruel at times, but still I am sure God will make upto him.
