It was in the year 2014, when in an interview with the Bombay Times, legendary actor and writer, Piyush Mishra had talked about his marital life with his wife, Priya Narayanan and how the initial years were simply nightmarish for his wife. The actor had honestly bared his heart out and had stated that he was a man with no morale and was dipped deep in alcohol. Piyush ji had also revealed that because he was severely alcoholic, he had started saying bad things to girls during parties and events. It was an extremely torrid phase of his life, but his wife, Priya had taken the grip of his life and in 2006, she had taken Piyush ji to an organisation. He had said, "The real problem was that I was a ganda, neech person who was morally corrupt. Priya observed everything with a lot of patience and took me to an organisation in 2006 for treatment. I was not caring about either my wife or my older son. I cried, thinking about how I had mistreated my mother and my wife."
Going further in his interview, Piyush Mishra had stated that his wife's decision to send him to Vipassana in Igatpuri in 2010 had helped him to the core of his soul. The actor had revealed that he had suffered pain initially, then had a self-guilt trip, but at the end of it, he had said sorry to all those people he had hurt one by one. When his wife's turn had come, it was the most difficult one for Piyush ji as he had done way too many bad things to his wife. He had revealed, "I told her how many girls I had brought into the house in her absence. It was very difficult for her, and it took time, but today, I feel so light. She was very tolerant, and she knows everything in and out now." (Don't Miss: When Groom Abhishek Bachchan Twinned And Posed On Ghodi With 'Sarbala', Agastya Nanda At His Baaraat)

It's only after coming to Mumbai that I understood what it means to earn."
