Actor, lyricist and playwright Piyush Mishra was recently in Delhi, returning to his roots with a visit to the National School of Drama. But even more than his alma mater, it is Mandi House that is closer to the legendary theatre artist’s heart. “Kaam kiya hai 3 saal wahan par, iske alaawa main 20 saal raha hoon Dilli mein. NSD se zyaada Mandi House mujhe pyaara hai. Mandi House mein I have spent 20 years, 20 long years working, working just doing theater. Toh usmein jo hai uski bahut, bahut bhayankar memories hain, matlab chhoti-moti memories nahi hain. Wahan par har chappe mein, har zarre-zarre mein rehearsal ki hai maine. Mandi House is like a pilgrimage for me,” shares Piyush. Piyush Mishra He goes on to add, “Bengali Market bada priy adda tha humara. Delhi ko ek hi tareeqe se miss karta hoon ki waisa wala kaam main dubaara nahi kar paaya jaisa maine wahan rehte hue kiya. 20 saal mein jo kaam kiya maine wahan par, with no expectation of going cinema, no expectation …

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 …

Piyush Mishra says he is a good husband now In a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Piyush admitted he was not a good husband earlier. “Now I am a good husband; I wasn’t earlier. Back then, I wasn’t responsible at all, and marriage is a very big responsibility. When you fall in love at 20, there’s no logic to it, that’s the beauty of it. But after 35, you love the person who is willing to grow old with you. Love is defined by the woman who is ready to grow old with you, and she accepted that she would grow old with me.” ‘It took me 10–15 years to realise she is my wife’ The actor made a confession about how long it …

Actor and lyricist Piyush Mishra recently weighed in on the large entourages that many actors in the film industry travel with. In a recent interaction, Piyush admitted that he loves working in the South film industry because their actors don’t live in hang-ups and don’t throw around their weight as stars. He spoke about actors in the Hindi film industry walking around with 8–9 people and 12 bodyguards, something he finds unnecessary. Speaking to Curly Tales, Piyush said, “People live in hangups, they have a lot of tantrums. Their entourage is so long. Almost 8-9 people will come with them, they will walk with at least 12 bodyguards but why do you need these many bodyguards? You are a single person. Who is coming to kill you? I don’t mind this and it is not that it is not applicable to me. I have one assistant and one make-up artist and I don’t need anybody else after these two. What is the need for so many people – one person is to drink with you. …
