Actor Prateik Babbar has been open about his battle with drug addiction and recently refuted the rumours of doing drugs after entering Bollywood. He shared that he started taking drugs when he was 13 and it happened due to his complicated family situation. He further revealed that he is now doing better. 

While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Prateik revealed, “I just want to say that people think, ‘Oh, he entered films, got fame and money, and then started taking drugs.’ No, that’s not true. My drug use began when I was thirteen years old, even before I turned twelve. Yes, I was terrified. So, it wasn’t because of the film industry. Unfortunately, I had a different kind of upbringing, and my family situation was a bit complicated. That’s why I started using drugs. It’s not that fame and money in films led me to it—I had already started using drugs then.”

He added, “Drugs are associated with trauma, you understand. As long as that trauma isn’t released, it will continue to impact relationships and other areas of life. But there comes a time when you have to work to make things better, which I’ve been doing for many years.”

Prateik also praised his fiance Priya Banerjee for helping him and said,  “My fiancee has been helping me improve in many ways. We’re helping each other grow, though she doesn’t need any improvement—she’s perfect! That’s life, you know; you have to move on.”
