'The grandparents saw the worst of me in those last few years. I was a raging addict. My grandmother died seeing me an addict. That's something I regret. I wish she could see the man I have become today,' Prateik told Bollywood Bubble.
'I shot Jaane Tu and then I went to Whistling Woods. I was studying a little bit here and there. There was a kind of slump as I didn't know what I was doing. I was there for about 2 years and then I was thrown out of Whistling Woods for doing drugs. Now that I think about it, it is funny. I got thrown out of every school and college I went into. I was a menace,' the actor added.
Prateik is currently enjoying the success of HIT: The Third Case, in which he played the lead antagonist. The survival action-thriller featured Nani, Srinidhi Shetty, Surya Srinivas, Rao Ramesh, Komalee Prasad, Nepoleon and others in prominent roles.
The actor was also seen in Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Sikandar, which released during the Eid weekend. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film also featured Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Anjini Dhawan, Sanjay Kapoor and Kishore among others in key roles. It turned out to be a colossal disappointment at the box office.
