Veteran actor-singer Piyush Mishra has worked with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap on a cult classic, Gangs of Wasseypur (2012), together. However, his recent statements indicate that the two have never shared a good or even cordial bond off-screen. Known for their strong personalities and voicing their unfiltered views, they have often found themselves at odds. Not only Kashyap, Piyush also shares a similar equation with Naseeruddin Shah. Piyush Mishra on Anurag Kashyap During a recent interaction with Shubhankar Mishra, Piyush Mishra was asked to choose between Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Kashyap as a collaborator. He quickly answered without a thought, saying, “Imtiaz Ali, any day. He is a great director and writes amazing scripts. I feel immense satisfaction after working with him.” Meanwhile, talking of Anurag Kashyap, he further added, “Anurag also does it, but… How shall I define Anurag Kashyap for you? Why does he talk so much? He does wrong to himself unnecessarily. You should either do good to yourself or the other person, but he doesn’t even think of himself. That’s his problem,” …

3 min readNew DelhiApr 13, 2026 07:00 PM IST Veteran actor-singer Piyush Mishra and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap have delivered a major cult hit together – Gangs of Wasseypur (2012). However, despite their successful collaboration, the two don’t really get along well, primarily because of their different personalities. During a recent interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Piyush opened up about his differences with Kashyap. He also spoke about his poor relationship with actor Naseeruddin Shah. When asked to choose his preferred director – Imtiaz Ali or Anurag Kashyap, he picked the former. “Imtiaz Ali, any day. He is a great director and writes amazing scripts. I feel immense satisfaction after working with him. Anurag also does it, but… How shall I define Anurag Kashyap for you? Why does he talk so much? He does wrong to himself unnecessarily. You should either do good to yourself or the other person, but he doesn’t even think of himself. That’s his problem,” he reasoned.

Actor, writer, and poet Piyush Mishra recently shared about his turbulent childhood, his strained relationship with his parents, and how those experiences shaped the kind of father he chose to become. In a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Piyush Mishra described his early years as difficult and emotionally lacking. “The impact my childhood had on me was something I needed to let go of. I couldn’t carry it forward — only after freeing myself from it could I move ahead in life,” he said. “I never had a good childhood. It was confusing and filled with a sense of inferiority. I couldn’t get what I was seeking from my parents,” he added. He went on to say that he did not receive the kind of guidance he needed. “My parents’ general understanding was limited, so I couldn’t get the guidance I was supposed to receive from them.” He added, “People often see their fathers as guiding forces, almost god-like figures. I never had that. In fact, I experienced the opposite. I spent much of my life …
