Recalling his financial struggles while trying to get work in the industry, Pratik in an interview with Bollywood Bubble said,

¡°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 recalled how his family was even homeless in Mumbai,

¡°I guess everybody goes through this. There were some medical emergencies at home, be it my wife's brain tumour 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. You struggle at that time, you manoeuvre 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.¡±

In an interview with Indiatimes, Pratik had said that how Scam 1992's success is a rebirth for him,

¡°It¡¯s an overwhelming feeling for me. This is my first big project, a lot of people have noticed me, But I was around for 15 years doing my bit. I have worked in Mumbai theatres for 15 to 20 years now. And my first Gujarati film came in 2013, so Harshad Mehta is almost a new birth for me, the way people have responded to it, so much of love around, all the appreciation for my character is still unreal. I am still digesting the fact that this is happening with me for real.¡±
