Entertainment Dec 20, 2025

Piyush Mishra, known for films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Maqbool, recently shared that struggling with alcoholism is his biggest regret.
In a candid interview, he admitted the addiction drained his creativity for almost 20 years before he finally sought help in 2005 to turn things around.

How it shaped his story—and what's next

Mishra says if he'd faced his addiction sooner, his career could have looked very different.
He's detailed these tough years in his autobiography Tumhari Auqaat Kya Hai, Piyush Mishra, which has been warmly received by readers.
Despite past challenges, he's still going strong—touring with music and working on a new novel called Sirfira.
