Shocking! Prateik Babbar Reveals Using Drugs At 13 Due To Family Complications
Prateik Babbar credited his fiancée as a significant source of support in his healing process!

Prateik Babbar recently opened up about his long-standing battle with drug addiction, revealing that his struggle began at the young age of 13, well before his entry into Bollywood. Currently promoting his film Khwaabon Ka Jhamela, Prateik Babbar took the opportunity to address these personal challenges, shedding light on the complex family dynamics that led him down this difficult path.
Prateik Babbar On His Drug Use
Contrary to common assumptions that his drug use began after he found fame, Prateik clarified that his early exposure to drugs had nothing to do with his career. He described how, due to a troubled family environment and an unconventional upbringing, he turned to substances as an escape when he was still a pre-teen. He emphasized that it was not the pressure of the industry that drove him to addiction; he was already struggling with it long before his rise to fame.
Prateik has spoken previously about the impact of his addiction on both his personal and professional life. Now, he’s determined to leave that part of his past behind, focusing instead on healing and self-improvement. He acknowledged that his past trauma, particularly related to his drug use, still leaves its mark on his life, especially when it comes to relationships. Despite the progress he’s made, Babbar admitted that overcoming trauma is a continuous journey, and he’s working actively to address these emotional wounds.
