Prateik Babbar Drugs: Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar recently shared a candid reflection on his struggles with addiction as a teenager, shedding light on the challenges he faced long before his Bollywood career took off. The actor, currently seen in the romantic comedy Khwaabon Ka Jhamela alongside Sayani Gupta and Kubbra Sait, discussed his journey in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, dispelling misconceptions about his past.
Prateik on drug abuse
Addressing rumors that he began using drugs after entering the film industry, Prateik clarified, “For many years, I’ve been speaking about this, but that story has ended now, and we’ve moved forward. 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 or twelve-and-a-half years old. It wasn’t because of the film industry. Unfortunately, I had a different kind of upbringing, and my family situation was a bit complicated, because of which, I started using drugs. It’s not that fame and money in films led me to it—I had already started using drugs then.”
Prateik also reflected on the lingering effects of his past substance abuse, especially on his relationships. He shared, “And yes, it did affect me, and still does, especially in relationships. Drugs are associated with trauma. As long as that trauma isn’t settled, 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. My fiancée has been helping me improve in many ways. We’re helping each other grow. That’s life.”
