Piyush Mishra is one of the most well-known actors, lyricists, and playwrights in Indian cinema. Recently, the actor sat down for an interview where he opened up about his roots in Delhi. However, during the conversation, what caught everyone's attention the most was when he opened up about how he fell in love with his wife, Priya Narayanan, with whom he celebrated his 31st wedding anniversary recently, in the same city. 

Piyush Mishra on how Delhi's Mandi House is close to his heart

Recently, Piyush Mishra was in Delhi, where he visited his alma mater, the National School of Drama. However, it seems that compared to his alma mater, it is Mandi House that is closer to Piyush's heart. The theatre artist revealed that he had worked there for 3 years and had stayed in Delhi for nearly two decades. He said that he had spent 20 years working in Mandi House, where he used to do theatre. According to him, Mandi House is a pilgrimage for him and a place that contains the artist's numerous meaningful memories. In his words: 

“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 theatre. 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.”

Piyush further revealed that Bengali Market was one of his favourite addas in Delhi. According to the actor, the reason he misses the city the most is that he hasn't been able to work in the same fashion that he did while living there. He claimed that the work he did in Delhi was very productive, as at the time he did not expect name, fame, and money. He credited his work there for making him the person that he is today. He said: 

“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 of name, fame, money, toh woh jo hai maine wahan par jo kiya woh bahut hi enthusiastic aur bahut hi productive kaam tha. Uss kaam ki wajah se hi main hoon jo kuch bhi hoon. Matlab ab yahan aane ke baad itna jaldi kaam mil gaya mujhe cinema mein, kaaran yahi tha ki itna kaam karke aaya tha main. Toh memories jo hai kaam ki hi hain aur koi aisi koi romantic memories nahi hain meri. Woh alag baat hai ki meri biwi se meri wahin mulaqaat hui thi.”
