TV
actor
Ravi
Bhatia,
who
shot
to
fame
with
his
shows
like
Jodha
Akbar
and
Ishq
Subhan
Allah,
recently
revealed
that
he
was
tricked
into
drugs
during
bad
times.
On
the
occasion
of
International
Day
Against
Drug
Abuse
and
Illicit
Trafficking,
the
Shukla-
The
Tiger
actor
exclusively
told
Filmibeat
that
he
was
offered
drugs
in
the
name
of
celebrations.
Ravi
Bhatia
said,
"Drugs
came
into
attention
now,
after
the
death
case
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
But
the
culture
trends
from
long
back.
When
I
started
my
career,
there
used
to
be
times
I
was
offered
it
in
the
name
of
celebrations.
When
I
faced
an
ugly
breakup
or
was
out
of
work,
people
tried
to
trick
me
into
finding
peace
and
happiness.
But
I
feel
proud
to
move
away
from
such
groups
and
find
a
shelter
from
my
family,
that
actually
helped
me
in
long
run."
Ravi
also
said
that
he
regrets
having
had
the
habit
of
smoking
in
the
past.
The
Ishq
Subhan
Allah
actor
said,
"At
a
time
I
use
to
smoke,
but
I
realised
how
harmful
it
was.
I
was
trying
to
quit.
The
time
my
son
was
born.
I
completely
quit
it
taking
care
of
his
health." Notably,
Ravi
Bhatia
thanked
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
for
taking
strict
action
against
drug
peddlers,
and
saving
the
young
generation
of
India
from
drug
addiction.
"It
is
disturbing
to
see
how
young
generation
even
before
being
an
adult
find
addiction
to
drugs
or
alcohol.
It
is
a
big
loss
and
might
result
as
barrier
in
process
of
getting
our
country
a
developed
one.
I
am
thankful
to
the
NCB,
which
is
taking
strict
action
to
bring
the
drug
trend
to
an
end.
Even
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
they
are
alert
and
working
to
save
our
future,"
Ravi
Bhatia
added.
Talking
about
his
work,
Ravi
Bhatia
