Piyush Mishra recently opened up about his personal life and marriage, reflecting on a difficult phase marked by emotional distance, infidelity, and eventual self-realisation. Drawing from his memoir Tumhari Auqaat Kya Hai, the actor-singer-writer shared how time and introspection helped him better understand relationships, admitting in a recent conversation that he wasn’t always the partner he should have been but has grown into a better husband now.
According to a report in News18, Mishra said, "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."
Piyush Mishra said love evolves with time—from youthful instinct to deeper companionship and growing old together—while admitting it took him years to truly acknowledge and understand his marriage. He continued, "It took me nearly 10–15 years to realise that she is my wife. Before that, she was just a woman who had my children, cooked for me and took care of the house. I had no feelings beyond that."
Talking about his wife Priya, Piyush said, "She loved me. She had run away from home for me and married me against her parents’ wishes… She said she would never leave me. It was her greatness that she stayed with me. Today I understand it. I am fortunate."

Piyush further revealed that he eventually confessed everything to his wife, including his extra-marital relationships. He said, "When I realised my mistakes, I told her everything. We were both crying, and we embraced each other. After that, we felt lighter."
Piyush Mishra shared that honest conversations over time helped him and his wife rebuild their relationship, as both were dealing with personal struggles. He revealed it took nearly five to six years for them to openly confront their truths and strengthen their bond. Mishra married architect Priya Narayanan in 1995, and they have two sons, Josh and Jai.
