Leading the series Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, Pratik Gandhi soon became a name to remember after his outstanding performance.
However, before his success, the actor mentioned in an interview that life wasn’t always smooth.
Pratik opened up about his early financial struggles, his wife’s operation, his late father’s cancer and more. “Financial trouble, financial crisis, medical trouble, I’ve seen it all. But I never experienced a moment of breakdown or self-doubt, somehow. I’m the kind of person, the moment I see issues, I tend to think about the solutions. And that’s how my mind is trained,” he says.
Sharing more details, Pratik says, “I guess everybody goes through this. There were some medical emergencies at home, be it my wife’s brain tumor operation, my father’s cancer. Eventually we lost him in 2018. Buying a house in Mumbai is a big deal. Even after a decade of being in Mumbai, there was a time when we didn’t have a house, suddenly the whole family was homeless.”
Lastly he adds, “You struggle at that time, you maneuver yourself, your emotions, and the whole family. And when you have a full-fledged family and you decide to quit your stable job and get into something like this, that is another struggle.”
On the work front, Pratik will be seen next in the film Bhavai, which is also his Bollywood debut and in the Amazon miniTV short film Shimmy. Another feather in his cap is Disney+ Hotstar’s Six Suspects.
