Actor-writer Piyush Mishra’s career trajectory would have been entirely different had he showed up in Mumbai to act in Maine Pyaar Kiya- a film which launched Salman Khan to stardom. The 1989 romantic musical drama marked the debut of filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya and the birth of a long, fruitful collaboration between him and Khan.
But much before Khan stormed the scene and won countless hearts with Maine Pyaar Kiya, Mishra was zeroed in for the role that defined the generation. In an interview with The Lallantop, Mishra revealed he was offered the film but couldn’t take it ahead. He insisted it was a “haadsa”, but he doesn’t regret what panned out later.
“Woh haadsa tha, but I don’t regret. When I was studying in final year of NSD, few months were left for me to pass out. My director called me to his room. Now, I was a very haseen ladka, I was very handsome in my time. I had a German jaw and a Roman nose. When I went to the chamber, I was introduced to a gentleman, who was a big director, I won’t take his name, and he was launching his son as a director. He said they are making a film called Maine Pyaar Kiya, they have shortlisted the girl, now they have come to NSD to find the male lead,” Mishra said in the interview.
The actor revealed that the Barjatyas asked him to visit their Mumbai office as soon as he was done with National School of Drama, with even the director of the institute pushing him to give acting in the film a chance. But fate-and Mishra-had other plans.
“They were happy to see, asked me my name, when would I graduate from the institute. They asked me to come to Mumbai immediately after that and gave me their visiting card, asking me to come to their Prabhadevi office immediately. I said ok sure I will go. They liked my features too and took a photograph. Fifteen days later, the director (of NFDC) met me and told me that he got a call for me and asked me to immediately leave for Mumbai, even if it means to leave NSD midway.
“I said I will go, but I didn’t. By then, dil mein badi khatas thi, pata nahi kyu duniya se nafrat ho gayi thi (I had started to hate the world). I went there three years later and learnt that Salman Khan was born with the film, and I thought that’s great. But if I had gone back then, I would not have been able to do the kind of work I did later. Everyone has their own journey, their destiny,” he added.
Featuring Salman Khan and Bhagyashree, Maine Pyar Kiya was a blockbuster upon its release and is considered one of the most iconic romantic films of all times. Post the film, Sooraj Barjatya teamed up with Khan for memorable hits like Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Hum Saath-Saath Hain and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
