Lisa Ray on Pressure to Look Younger in Film Industry

An actress named Lisa Ray wrote a message on Instagram, an app where people share pictures.

She talked about how women often feel pressure to look young and perfect.

She said this pressure can make women feel worried and nervous inside.

When she was a teenager, she read a book called The Beauty Myth.

The book helped her understand why women are made to feel afraid of getting older.

She said that fear is good for business, because companies sell products that promise to fix things that are not broken.

Lisa Ray said she has both gained from these beauty rules and been hurt by them.

Now that she is 54 years old, she wants to enjoy her body instead of always trying to change it.

She hopes women can feel strong and happy about themselves, just the way they are.
