Pratik won 8 awards and 7 nominations for Khokababu between 2016-2018. In 2019, Pratik returned to television with the super hit family drama Mohor (2019) paired with Sonamoni Saha, which saw them become Bengali TV's favourite couple.

After Shaheber Chithi (2022), Pratik joined Magic Moments's serial Ekka Dokka (2022) as a parallel male lead. The serial brought back fan favourites, Pratik and Sonamoni Saha to share screen space. Ekka Dokka completed its run in September 2023.

This also marked Pratik's first collaboration with Zee Bangla, indicating a new phase in his television career. Pratik clinched his third West Bengal Tele Academy Best Actor Award in 2025 for Amader Dadamoni, a role layered with complexity, depth, and emotional nuance, giving him the perfect canvas to stretch his repertoire as an artist.
