Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost @devyanisaltzman : Bit of a throwback. This is what we looked like on the red carpet ten years ago with #Water. #Bestforeignfilmnominee #Hindi #NonEnglishCinema . My didi Devyani posted this and I can’t help add a reflection on this evening from my book #ClosetotheBone: ‘This ascension of celebrity epitomized by the Oscars – to come from obscurity and become globally celebrated – was the taste of omnipotence. Was I in this private club, drinking in the ferocious showmanship in swigs? Or split from the pack, taking it in from the sidelines, wide-eyed with disbelief? I had always kept room in my heart for the unimaginable. But entering the Kodak Theatre, the air crackling with influence and power, I felt pulled off balance as if by a tailwind.’
