Prateik with Dalai Lama

It was a dream come true for Prateik Babbar, who has turned to Buddhist chanting post a stint in rehab for substance abuse. Currently touring Dharamsala, the 30-year-old actor yesterday secured a private audience with the Dalai Lama, who gifted him a miniature Buddha statue and an autographed book, Beyond Religion. Prateik, on his part, greeted him with a bouquet of carnations and freshly cooked organic food.
