Prateik Babbar reveals he doesn't want rebirth: I know my mother and my grandparents are waiting at the end of this life
Growing up as the child of two renowned Bollywood actors,
Raj Babbar

Smita Patil
, brought both privileges and complexities for Prateik. After losing his mother at birth, he was raised by his maternal grandparents.
In a recent interview, Prateik reflected on his spiritual beliefs, saying that souls choose their parents, and by that understanding, he consciously chose his life and his mother.
Choosing a Life of Hardships
Talking to Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Prateik said, 'Well, I chose this life and this battle. I chose a mother that would leave, and it's because I wanted these hardships. The reason I wanted those hardships was because, I went through multiple lifetimes making mistakes.
This could be the life where I chose my mother and before coming here we made a deal that we live this life together but the deal was 'no, you die, I suffer, I go through these hardships only because I don't want to come back here again.
We don't want to do this again so I feel like I am clearing all my karma in this lifetime.'

Hakla Shah Rukh Khan meme refuses to die despite takedown attempts; goes viral again
Social media trends and viral memes based on celebs in not a new concept, and if often takes the internet by storm. One such trend currently sweeping across social media is the 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan ' meme, a viral sensation that refuses to fade. Even as reports suggest attempts were made by Shah Rukh Khan's team to remove the content, it continues to surface on various social media platforms. Where did it begin The meme includes an exaggerated, cartoonish image of SRK's face morphed onto a comedian donning a bizarre hairstyle similar to his iconic stutter in the film Darr. Users mock his repeated "K–K–K–Kiran" dialogue delivery, using the Hindi term "hakla", meaning 'stammerer,' to spotlight it. This odd visual and verbal combo first surfaced in a parody video nearly a decade ago but only recently surged thanks to meme page resharing, GIFs, and remixed clips. Why is it still trending According to social media creator Glokus, the meme's less popularity changed into internet gold when users began spreading it again recently. Despite platform removal measures, 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan' once again went viral as parody meme pages revived it with creative edits and comical audio. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now SRK tried to take this down According to various reports available online, SRK's team attempted to remove the offending GIF across platforms. Instagram reportedly purged the original image in mid-2024, and Meta cited policy violations tied to bullying and harassment. But rather than disappearing, the meme found new ways to survive, some fans used ASCII art recreations, misspelled hashtags like 'H@kl@,' and abstract dot-art versions to bypass moderation. This meme gave rise to various other viral memes The meme's popularity spurred spin-offs like Salman Khan became 'Suja Salman,' Akshay Kumar became 'Banana Akki,' and even political figures weren't spared. Instagram reels featuring figures like PM Narendra Modi as 'Sai NaMo' went viral, with meme makers celebrating 'Hakla Never Dies' as their rallying cry. The persistent 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme is an example that once something goes online, it's nearly impossible to erase. And in today's social media landscape, that persistence speaks louder than any takedown notice.
