Bollywood actress Lisa Ray started her career with modeling. After this, he made his Bollywood debut in 1994 with the film ‘Hanste Khelete’. After this he worked in many successful films, including ‘Kasoor’, ‘Bollywood/Hollywood’ and the 2005 Oscar nominated film ‘Water’. Her image was always that of a glamorous and powerful actress, but in 2001, at the peak of her career, she suddenly distanced herself from Bollywood. Whereas Lisa has revealed the real reason for her decision through an Instagram post for 25 years.
Why did Lisa Ray distance herself from Bollywood?
Through an Instagram post, Lisa Ray said that she was not able to see herself in the industry as she really was. He said, “In 2001, I shunned fame in India, not because work was not available – on the contrary, I had a lot of work. I had many successful films behind me, many offers ahead, and I was clearly aware of how people were seeing me. I was only being seen as a beautiful model. In all this, her real voice and personality were suppressed.”
Time spent amidst music and art in London
She said, “During my break I went to London and stayed at a college there and studied Shakespeare and poetry. I spent time in museums and art and learned about Buddhism and yoga. “I tried to make my life based on learning, soul and curiosity rather than being seen in the public eye.”
Lisa also made films
After this deep self-discovery, Lisa moved towards independent films. He said, “At that time films were usually made on low budget, but my aim was not just to make money. I used to make films with confidence and hope, it was an opportunity for me to know and understand myself. My films included both light-hearted and serious films. I enjoyed discovering my personality through each of these characters.
Talking about old photographs and films, Lisa said, “Even though they remind me of my old beauty, my real aim was never to be famous or look beautiful. For me, the real work was to bring depth to life, to find meaning and to remove the burden of people’s external expectations. Time did not erase me, but revealed my true self. This journey proved to be an experience for me to understand and accept myself.
