Creative Since His Childhood, This Is How Piyush Mishra Found His Love For Theatre

On an exciting episode of Sunday Brunch, our Editor-in-Chief recently met with one of the most creative souls, Piyush Mishra. A lyricist and singer, he is also known for his screenwriting, acting, and numerous other talents. And on this episode, we got to learn all about his creative sides, his journey, his learnings, his love for food, and a lot more.

Piyush Mishra Has Always Had A Creative Soul

As soon as Kamiya Jani stepped into his house, there was a distinct sort of warmth, a very homely feeling, to which Piyush Mishra added that it comes from the people who live in the house, and we couldn’t agree more. The house was beautifully set, and the credit goes to his architect wife, Priya Narayanan. As the conversation started, we learnt about his upcoming tour with his band, Ballimaaraan. He revealed that, despite the demanding nature of performing in numerous cities, he still enjoys every moment of it.

It’s no news that Piyush Mishra is a man of many talents; whether it’s his acting skills or his music, he aces all of it. But when did he recognise this creative streak that he possesses? Well, Piyush Mishra revealed that he has been into writing, painting, singing, and playing the sitar since he was a child. He also added that as a child, he considered himself a bit of a loser. He thought so about himself and never got any support or appreciation from anyone he knew—be it his teachers, his parents, or his guides. But when he was in the 8th standard and performed in a play for the first time, people actually appreciated him, and he felt like, okay, I can do something worthwhile.
