Piyush was not from the entertainment world. He worked in the advertising industry and had a well-paying job. However, he made a big sacrifice by leaving his career to support Shubhangi when she started getting roles in TV serials like Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kasturi. He stayed at home to take care of their daughter while Shubhangi focused on acting. Later, when things became more stable, he returned to his professional life.
