It was an extremely torrid phase of his life, but his wife, Priya had taken the grip of his life and in 2006, she had taken Piyush ji to an organisation. He had said, "The real problem was that I was a ganda, neech person who was morally corrupt. Priya observed everything with a lot of patience and took me to an organisation in 2006 for treatment. I was not caring about either my wife or my older son. I cried, thinking about how I had mistreated my mother and my wife."
