Lisa Ray, a talented individual, was in the midst of completing her high school education in Canada, with a strong inclination towards pursuing a degree in Journalism at the university level. Her academic aspirations were suddenly disrupted when a renowned fashion magazine approached her to model for them, resulting in her being featured on the cover of their publication. This unexpected turn of events propelled her into the limelight, transforming her into an overnight sensation.
As a result of her newfound fame, Lisa's high-profile career gained significant attention, leading to numerous offers from Indian filmmakers. However, she remained selective and didn't accept many of these offers until she was approached to star in the offbeat film Kasoor (2000),which garnered a considerable amount of attention.
Indian-Canadian director Deepa Mehta took notice of Lisa's talent and subsequently cast her as the lead in the lighthearted romantic comedy Bollywood/Hollywood (2002),which went on to become a massive success in Canada. This opportunity marked a significant milestone in Lisa's career, and she subsequently decided to relocate to London to further hone her acting skills and focus on a more serious career in the performing arts.
After graduating from drama school, Lisa was reunited with Deepa Mehta in the critically acclaimed film Water (2005). Since then, she has demonstrated her versatility by taking on a wide range of characterizations, including roles such as a farm girl and a femme fatale. This adaptability and willingness to take on new challenges are testaments to Lisa's dedication to her craft and her passion for exploring different aspects of the performing arts.
