Piyush Mishra: My Marriage Took 15 Years to Understand
6 Apr
Summary
- Actor Piyush Mishra confessed it took 10-15 years to grasp his marriage.
- He admitted to viewing his wife mechanistically, lacking emotional connection.
- Vipassana practice helped him develop empathy over the last 15 years.
Actor and lyricist Piyush Mishra, recognized for his role in 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' has openly discussed his past personal failures within his married life in his memoir, 'Tumhari Auqaat Kya Hai.' He admitted that maturity regarding his marital responsibilities arrived late, with love initially perceived as impulsive emotion rather than a deep bond.
Mishra confessed it took nearly 10 to 15 years to fully comprehend his marriage, having previously viewed his wife, Priya Narayanan, in a limited, almost mechanical way. He described himself as detached and unfeeling during this period, impacting his relationship and life overall.
A pivotal shift occurred about 15 years ago when Mishra began practicing Vipassana. This meditation technique gradually facilitated an emotional reconnection and the development of empathy, enabling him to recognize the struggles of others.
He also spoke about past infidelity, recounting an emotional conversation where he confessed everything to his wife. Her understanding response, acknowledging mutual errors, ultimately strengthened their bond. Married in 1995, Mishra and Narayanan are parents to two sons.
