Biography
Born of a Polish mother and a Bengali father.
Discovered, at the age of sixteen, by Maureen Wadia, through her Glad Rags magazine, nearly ten years ago.
She seduced us from the cover, dressed in nothing more than a red Baywatch - style swimsuit.
Her only form of dieting is by cutting out rice, "roti" and white bread from her meals.
Walking is one of her passions too. According to her "Apart from the exercise value, it’s a great way to unwind".
She absolutely hates ramp modeling, she tells us."I’m not very tall, I don’t have the height and somehow I just never gelled with it"
She went on to host "BPL OYE!", which was the most watched show on Channel [V].
She even did a cameo role opposite flop-actor Rahul Roy.
She resurrected her career with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s "Afreen Afreen" music video. in which she tempted and seduced the strikingly handsome Himanshu Mallik.
She disappeared from the modeling scene giving rise to a host of Rumours. Some say her house got robbed and her invalid mother and aging father were roughed up.
Others say she died of a drug over dose. Yet others said that her boyfriend (?) at the time, Sanjay Narang, of The Ambassador Flight Kitchen, had beaten her up so savagely, you could barely recognize her.
None of which was true.She had simply gone back home to Canada for a breather.
She returned after a year to India and started concentrating more on promoting art and young artists. Apart from a few close friends, no one knew she was back.
She came back with a vengeance.
Done the recent Lakme, Sprite,and the Garden ad Campaigns.
She has appeared on the cover of the latest Great Looks, Elle and Femina magazines.
She is even seen in Daler Mehendi’s music video, riding pillion on a motorbike.
She is anchoring Star Movies’ Star Biz with Kelly Dorjee.
Comparing shows is not off the cards for her. Having compared the Screen Awards and the Derby Fashion Nite where the latter was absolutely unscripted and impromptu.
She has been appointed the ambassador in India for Rado Watches.
She does not want to be known only as a model or a TV personality or a film actress. Rather she want a balance between all these worlds because she believes "all these things build one on top of the other".
She’s recently taken up the pen and begun writing for Indian publications. Cosmopolitan, The Times group of publications and The Indian Express are just a few of the publications she has written in.
Her ambition is to be a novelist, with a base in Paris.
Moderation is the success formula for model Lisa Ray. She is moderate in whatever she does - exercise, eating and even her work - everything. But her achievements have been anything but moderate. Lisa Ray can easily be counted among India’s topmost and successful models.
Lisa’s most popular assignments have been with India’s leading consumer brands, including Bombay Dyeing, Lakme, Evita Soap, Sprite, Bajaj Scooty and BPL washing machines. An extension of her modelling career is her enhanced status as a brand ambassadress for Rado Watches. She also hosts a show called ‘Starbiz’ on Star Movies.
Lisa Ray made her debut in Bollywood Industry with Vikram Bhatt's Kasoor opposite Aftaab Shivdasani. With her sensational looks and great acting talents, she became quite famous in Bollywood.
Now let's hope things run more smoothly this time. After all, this 'afreen' is one nymph we'd love to see on the silver screen.
