While he was pursuing law, Misra even qualified civil services exam and trained for ten months, but didn't join the income tax department and went back to the courtroom. Satyadeep quit his high-paying job as a lawyer and came to Mumbai to fulfill his dream to become an actor. He made his debut in the 2011 crime drama film No One Killed Jessica and then went on to star in multiple films and shows, listed above.
Talking about his personal life, Satyadeep tied the knot with the actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who was born in the royal family of Hyderabad, in 2007. Aditi's mother has ancestral roots connecting with Satyadeep's Tyabji family. The two of them separated in 2013. Satyadeep remarried popular fashion designer and actress Masaba Gupta in 2023.
