FirstpostOne summer day some 50 years ago, a young Piyush Mishra faced sexual assault at the hands of a distant female relative. He quickly made his mark as an actor, songwriter, singer, scriptwriter in films such as Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Maqbool’, Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Gulaal’ and most notably, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012, where he played the narrator. Mishra has written, composed and sung for films like ‘Gulaal’ and ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. His earlier songs ‘Ghar’, written for a theatrical adaptation of West Side Story - ‘Jab Shehar Hamara Sota Hai’, and ‘Husna’ were later featured by international music franchise Coke Studio. I turn down roles that I feel I won’t enjoy.” On a question about his days in NSD and how the institute is faring now, Mishra said like everything else, the premiere theatre school is also facing decline.
