Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\nPiyush Mishra On His Hurtful Behaviour Due To Alcoholism<\/p>\n
The Maqbool actor revealed that he \u201cnever acted after drinking, nor have I ever gone to a set drunk\u201d. Elaborating on how alcohol affected his mind, he continued, \u201cWhile singing Husna, I had an alcoholic mind; while working on Gulaal, I had an alcoholic mind\u2014but I did not consume alcohol at that time. I used to drink because of physical craving, and you cannot suppress that craving.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also admitted to his hurtful behaviour towards others due to the addiction. \u201cAfter drinking, I did many things that later made me feel, \u2018This is not me’,\u201d he shared. Reflecting on the issues he created with his mother while drunk, Piyush said, \u201cI said many harsh things to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 63-year-old continued, \u201cI made many inappropriate and obscene phone calls to women, and the next morning I wouldn’t even remember them. Later, when I mentioned it, they would say, \u2018Sir, you said this on the phone last night-such vulgar things.’ I would say, \u2018I couldn’t have said that,’ but they insisted that I did. At that time, I was not in control of myself. I was doing things I didn’t want to do\u2014things I believed I could never do in a sane state of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessionally, people were scared of me because I would behave in such ways. It started affecting my work. People began saying that I am very difficult to work with, and that perception still exists\u2014that I am temperamental and hard to work with,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n
The Turning Point<\/p>\n
In 2009, Piyush Mishra suffered a brain stroke, affecting his right side. This is when he began practising Vipassana to control his cravings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had become an anti-social person. My work saved me. Otherwise, the things I have done\u2026 people would have killed me. Considering the kind of behaviour I had displayed, people would have beaten me to death,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran star Piyush Mishra has never shied away from opening up about his personal and professional struggles.
