Prateik Smita Patil opened up about breaking the TV because of his mother, Smita

In a recent conversation with ZOOM on their YouTube channel, the actor opened up about his struggle with anger issues and substance use. During the chat, he revealed that he was extremely angry as a child, and his parents' absence really got to him. He added that while he was growing up, he experienced immense anger and depression; however, it came afterwards for him. He shared that he was filled with so much rage that once he was watching television, his mother, late actress, Smita Patil's movie, was playing, and he got so mad about her not being there with him that he broke the TV set. He was quoted as saying:

"My experience with depression came much later; in my childhood I dealt with a lot of anger. I was angry all the time, and I was filled with rage. I remember watching the television, and one of my mother’s movies was playing. I was angry that she wasn’t there with me, and I picked up the TV and broke it. I even took a baseball bat to all the pictures in the house."

Prateik Smita Patil opened up about his overdose

In the same conversation, Prateik Smita Patil opened up about his addiction. He revealed that he overdosed a couple of times, and rehab wouldn't work for him. He added that he would get out and, after a few weeks, would be back to his old ways. He shared that he was ashamed of his family's situation and not having his parents around. He was quoted as saying:

"I overdosed a couple of times, and rehab didn’t work for me. The second I was out, within a few weeks, I was back to being an addict. I was ashamed of my family situation and not having parents with me. I went through all of that, with drugs and everything, but I was protected, and it wasn't my time yet."

Prateik further revealed about the aftermath of his substance abuse. He revealed that he was looked at as an addict. He added that while even his family was extremely upset with him, they stood by him through everything. However, being treated as an outcast and being perceived in a negative light was definitely hard on him. He was quoted as saying:

"It was tough. You get boycotted and labelled, and you become an outcast. I was very fortunate to have my family, who were extremely upset with me, but they were there. I was perceived very differently in the society, and kids were told by their parents to stay away from me."

Prateik Smita Patil has gone through several ups and downs. However, he is determined to make his comeback in life and Bollywood. The actor was last seen in Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal and Sharman Joshi's Sikandar. While the movie failed at the box office, the actor is hopeful for the future.
