Having featured in last week's release, Mulk, Prateik Babbar says he worked hard to overcome his drug addiction and return to acting. In his bid to resurrect his career, the actor approached his industry friends for work, but says they turned their back on him.

The actor completes a decade in the industry this year and reflecting back, he says it was a roller-coster ride with its own share of ups and downs. "It has been fair bit of struggle, fair bit of celebration. Everyone has some sort of struggle. This is my struggle but I never gave up. The hunger helped me, I am hungry for work so I am here," Prateik told PTI in an interview.
