While interacting with an entertainment portal, the ‘Scam 1992’ star said that this year changed his recognition as an actor. He told SpotboyE, “2020 has been a life-changing year for me in many ways. The biggest reason is Scam 1992. Suddenly I was a nationally-recognized actor. I was put on a national platform, and maybe on an international platform too. Suddenly I’m being offered really interesting projects. I am being taken seriously as an actor at a time when the world is going through the worst crisis of the century.”

When questioned how he dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, Pratik told, “As a family, we never felt more helpless. It was horrible! My brother was hospitalized with Covid-19. I, my wife mother and daughter were Covid Positive. I couldn’t even go meet my brother in the hospital. By God’s grace, we survived. We are fine now. But this experience taught me one very big lesson.”

He further disclosed about his wife’s brain tumour surgery and said that he lost his father due to cancer. Gandhi was quoted saying by the portal, “I had seen medical emergencies before during my wife’s brain-tumour operation and my father’s cancer treatment when we lost him. During these medical crises, I was trying to meet doctors, procure the best medicines, etc. But this time I couldn’t do anything because. I couldn’t go out. I felt helpless. I realized we are not in control of anything. It’s the Almighty who decides everything for us.”

Pratik Gandhi primarily works in Gujarati theatre and cinema and is known for his works in ‘Bey Yaar’, ‘Wrong Side Raju’ and others.
