Lisa Ray Instagram – Posted @withregram • @su.n.doku Me being filmy for anything Indian and desi led me to this wonderfully engaging book by the loveliest Lisa Ray. Having watched her in Deepa Mehta’s trilogy ‘Water’, I became intrigued by this ‘introvert’ who somehow had a brush with Bollywood and modelling when she was only 16, a far cry from her original plan of wanting to become a writer / journalist. The most delightful thing about Lisa Ray’s book is her intimate chronicle of her life even detailing her parents love story in the most interesting way. Sometimes when writers divulge too much information, they became tedious and ‘showy’ to the reader. Somehow, the intricate details penned by Lisa only made her autobiography more worth hanging onto. This autobiography is not only on her cancer journey as many would have thought but oh so much more. I particularly love her description of her Polish mom’s journey marrying into an Indian family and hers & mom’s “platonic” relationship 🥺 Reading the book, I felt I travelled with her through her life journey, my emotions running on a rollercoaster. My admiration for her is not just skin-deep now as it is normal for people to be taken by her beauty but having the chance to delve into her innermost thoughts and experiences, I felt Lisa is a natural writer unabashed in sharing her personal thoughts, it is quite mindblowing and a treat to my senses, my respect for her just went through the ceiling 🤩😍 @lisaraniray #lisaray #closetothebone #intimate #personaljourney #personalthoughts #writer #delightful #beauty #beautiful #inside #outside #wow #intriguing
