The actor has featured in hit Gujarati movies such as “Bey Yaar”, “Wrong Side Raju”, “Love Ni Bhavai” and has starred in Hindi projects, including “Mitron” and Salman Khan-backed “Loveyatri”.
In a Twitter post Pratik said while he and Bhamini were quarantining at their home, his brother has been hospitalised.

In reply to a friend’s tweet, Pratik thanked BJP leader Kirit Somaiya for his timely intervention and said he was grateful for the help.
“I can’t thank you enough @MadhaviBhuta and @KiritSomaiya for your timely support and warmth during this testing time to family,” the actor wrote
Somaiya said he was in touch with the doctors who have assured him that Punit “will recover.”

“Get well soon champ. Beat the virus with your positivity,” Mehta wrote.
