Lisa Ray Reflects on Stepping Away from Fame in 2001

Lisa Ray is an actress who was very famous in the early 2000s.

In 2001, she decided to step away from acting in mainstream Indian movies.

She felt that people only saw her as a pretty model and not as a serious actress.

So, she moved to London to study acting and learn more about herself.

She spent time reading Shakespeare, studying Buddhism, and practicing yoga.

After some time, she came back to acting but chose to work in smaller, independent films.

She says this journey helped her find her true self and grow as a person.

She is now 53 years old and was recently in a movie called 99 Songs.

She also had a serious health issue called multiple myeloma in 2009, but she continues to inspire many people with her story.
