Lisa Ray Instagram - “‘How are you still standing? Your red blood cell count is so low that you can go into cardiac arrest any moment!’ That's what my doctor said when she 1st saw my blood test report. I’d been experiencing fatigue for months. And a few tests later, another doctor said, ‘You’ve cancer of the plasma of the bone marrow.’ At that moment, for the 1st time in years, I stopped & took a breath. I’d always been on the go. But while a part of me lived on the red carpet, the other craved spiritual peace- extreme ends! Like, I wanted to write a book. It helped me connect with myself. But with work, I never got to do it. But Cancer changed things. My stem cell surgery felt like being close to death & being reborn. But it helped me appreciate the life I had. I remember writing a blog about what it’s like living with cancer. Since the stigma had been so bad in south asian cultures, coming out felt cathartic. People appreciated my honesty too. Somehow, we all found courage in acceptance. After my treatment, I once tried wearing a wig for a public event but I found it to be ridiculous. I told myself, ‘Remove it’ & went all bald. It was all over the headlines but more than that, it was the most liberating thing I’d ever done. But the media wasn’t always nice. After chemo, I was a part of a travel show with my hair short. I called it a ‘chemo cut.’ But the channel replaced me. They wanted a girl with ‘long’ hair. It was heartbreaking. But soon, I did go into remission only to relapse 3 years later. Things were different by then. I was getting married. I was shattered but I took it 1 day at a time. My body told me what to do & I listened. I went for a 3 week transformation program. I meditated, drank juices, ate sprouts, & introspected. I healed internally. And within months I beat cancer again & without the stem cell surgery! It’s been 9 years since then a lot has happened. I did more movies, wrote a book, raised cancer awareness, had kids, & did the unthinkable- found the courage to start an art platform! It’s ironic how a disease that usually brings the end to us changed my life completely & made me feel more alive than anything else ever did!” #NationalCancerAwarenessDay

Lisa Ray Instagram - Got married to my habibi at 40 (because it never occurred to me not to)

Welcomed our glorious twin girls at 45 (because we have the technological advancements to assist a cancer survivor having children)

First book published at 46 (because it’s been my dream to be a published writer since I was a kid - and because telling your own story is essential) 

Co-founded an art tech platform at 50 (because I love art and now we have the disruptive tech to re-imagine how art is shared, bought and enjoyed)

Lived in 5 diverse cities post marriage across Asia (because why would you remain in one place if you have the opportunity to experience more?)

Healed and learned to cherish and prioritise health, spiritual growth and happiness above everything (because this process is lifelong) 

Worked on a hit OTT show, playing a super fun, unconventional character at 49, that suddenly made me hot with Gen Z 😂 (only after the producer-friend pinned me down with the promise of a female led set) 

Learned tennis at 42 (because, why not?)

This after getting diagnosed with cancer at 37. (Blessings come in many disguises)

…..

This particular chapter comes post a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma - a blood cancer - and a thriving career in front of the camera that while it afforded a level of fame and independence, nearly killed me. I happily leave the fame game to those more constitutionally suited. The business of entertainment is not aligned with my values and inner life. 

But it has given me a platform to say:

Society’s rules? WHAT RULES?

If it has never occurred to live on your own terms, WHY NOT?

Lisa Ray Instagram - Family portrait with shona @sayanigupta between shots on the set of #4MoreShotsPlease (trying to find non-spoiler photos with @banij but I can’t!) This was ‘bring your Soufflé to work day’, because, you know, working moms 😂✌🏼❤️ We didn’t have a cast and crew screening for @4moreshotspls S2 (because, you know, pandemic) so I’m sending out massive love and cheers to the fabulous, generous, Uber talented girl gang.
Man, this season is...something. L.I.T. The antidote to all the dire news, but still complex and entertaining and all heart. 
Love y’all and raising my glass to all of you  @rangitapritishnandy @nupurasthana @nehapartimatiyani @devikabhagat7 @misschamko @sayanigupta @shibanidandekar @iamkirtikulhari @maanvigagroo @banij @aasthasharma @reannmoradian

Lisa Ray Instagram - Inter-species junction. Jackfruits make awesome baby-sitters 😅
Lisa Ray Instagram - 🙏🏼 deep bows to our frontline workers. In India and everywhere. 
.
UPDATE: I’m very political but choose not to indulge my politics during a humanitarian crisis. This is a repost of a tweet by a DOCTOR in India. Please don’t post political views- even ones I am aligned with- here. The polarising discourse emerging from India is toxic and draining from both sides. Use your own platform to vent your anger and anguish. Let’s be clear, the current government has a frightening amount of failings. But this is not about that. This is solely dedicated to celebrating frontline workers in India. Yes, the administration has failed India, the negligence and lack of support for citizens is monstrous. There is a an indictment of the governance that led to this situation embedded in the words. If you can’t see it, we don’t see language as a subversive weapon in the same way 🙏🏼 my deepest condolences to everyone who has lost someone they love during these devastating times.

Lisa Ray Instagram - Here’s the other thing that happens when one is quarantined at home with the (gulp) mumps and the babies are with @dipikablacklist and I am forbidden to get close to them but privy to a private trial of the sweetest saris sent all the way from Kolkata by my khub mishti little sister @aakanksha.a 
You both have turned my mamoni into a teensy-weensy mashima ❤️

Lisa Ray Instagram - Thank you @b.u.n.n.y.p.u.p my little boddhisattvas love all their gifts, though this is their favourite. They’ve seen mama floating around on set and at home in robes, now they have their own lockdown swag.
Lisa Ray Instagram - That’s me at 47, free and unfiltered. Do we have the courage to be seen as we are? I did not when I was younger. Not everyone will recognize your worth, but love your skin and the stories it tells, your experiences, your essence- know your worth woman!- and the world will reflect back your radiance. (And if it doesn’t, fuck it. You’re lovable and perfect regardless)
Thanks @binapunjani for clearing the way for more of me and less hair to hide behind 🙏🏼

Lisa Ray Instagram - Via @bombaytimes:
‘The actress says she wanted to share her story to clear the myths around surrogacy. “I wanted to share our struggles and triumph. Having been open about my cancer journey and receiving so much unconditional support, sharing this moment of happiness feels right. Hopefully, our story can give hope to others who are struggling to have kids. Life throws you both challenges and miracles, and I’m unspeakably grateful for my miracle daughters,” she said. So, what plans does she have for her girls in future? “I will teach my girls to be resilient, strong, open, and that they can achieve anything they set their hearts on. There are no boundaries, except the ones in our minds and children have no idea of what they can and cannot achieve. Bringing up the next generation to be kind is the greatest chance we have for a better future. I can’t resist whispering in their tiny ears — ‘The Future is Female’,” she asserted.’

Lisa Ray Instagram - What will my Souffle make of this time? I try to make it clear, mama has internalised the source of her joy : the process of thinking and reflecting on life. How do I ensure they see the human family’s connection to nature and each other is sacred and immutable behind the masks?
. .
Two different realities coexist during this pandemic. One is physically, politically & economically devastating; while the other is a forced period of reflection which has already born fruit in the form of reminding us we’re one human family, connected with nature and each other

Lisa Ray Instagram - Its our first birthday 🎉 and we had the best morning with mausi @preetasukhtankar and mausa #SK who dressed us like maharastrian mulgis. We love all our presents from all our friends. By the way, what does sharing is caring mean? Because mom keeps repeating this annoying phrase every time I take my presents back from sissy?!
#SouffleisONE #HappyBirthday #livewellandprosper
Lisa Ray Instagram - #Souffle (my twin daughters) will be three soon. Chances are the Eastern European chocolate coated biscuit cake my mother served for my third birthday will not be part of the celebration. But there will be candles. No puffy sleeved frocks but a strong possibility of uneven bangs as well.
Lisa Ray Instagram - My daughters’ 2nd birthday is coming up. The ability to rejoice during difficult times is the hallmark of the human spirit. My husband has told me childhood stories of bombs falling during dinner parties in Beirut, where the guests would dive under the table and toast each other once they emerged and the danger had passed. We all have it in us to celebrate life’s contradictions. And here’s me at three ✌️ I can still taste the crunch of the first bite of that layered Polish biscuit cake. Lao Tzu once said: what is childhood but the memory of particular tastes?

Lisa Ray Instagram - For Saraswati Pooja today, given a choice amongst money, pen and book, Sufi grabbed a pen with alacrity and Soleil surprised us by reaching for a book on Rumi. No matter what path they choose, I pray my girls are blessed with the gift of love, moonlight, possibility divine communication and the light of knowing.

Lisa Ray Instagram - Kids are hazardous to your health.
And that’s all I’m going to say.
Lisa Ray Instagram - Look at me
says the world with a harlequin grin.
A man is carrying his shards on tv
for dumbstruck viewers
who forgot to change the batteries 
of the remote.
On another screen
Mara resurrects in calligraphic roars
a cauldron of violence and pelting chants,
as a river of tongues-
all pink, unfurled and un-iridescent hued-
bay for the Dream House.
We watch a covenant collapsing under its awnings
like cardboard dreams
in the thousands.
And here,
in another mandala of grief,
we are synthesizing green
as we lay the keywords on a quiet side street
like elephant bones.
Ducking, dodging, adapting
whatever comes next-
What’s after ‘safe distancing’? And how’s a ‘brave new world’ to march
when there’s not enough oars
enough tablecloth to hide your children,
enough gold and grain
for every hand to sow.
On this carnal expedition
there’s not enough.
Not enough for every body, it seems.
Look at us, look at us
as we make flags of the weak
bind our knuckles with washclothes
our knees with toilet paper.
Illicit citizens are chewing up our bricks
they call from under buckets and masks
and your children’s cookies too.
Meanwhile a satellite confirms
the fire is coming
Kalki is coming.
Even a single cell can smell it.
Come, they call-
Take this pebble
throw it into the eyes of the Goddess.
See we are wrapping her in carnival clothes
making offerings of candyfloss and peanuts.
It’s the only way to pray.
It’s the hovercraft that will save us.
See us, see us
They call with holographic grins. -Lisaraniray @protestpoet

But Cancer changed things. My stem cell surgery felt like being close to death & being reborn. But it helped me appreciate the life I had. I remember writing a blog about what it’s like living with cancer. Since the stigma had been so bad in south asian cultures, coming out felt cathartic. People appreciated my honesty too. Somehow, we all found courage in acceptance. After my treatment, I once tried wearing a wig for a public event but I found it to be ridiculous. I told myself, ‘Remove it’ & went all bald. It was all over the headlines but more than that, it was the most liberating thing I’d ever done. But the media wasn’t always nice. After chemo, I was a part of a travel show with my hair short. I called it a ‘chemo cut.’ But the channel replaced me. They wanted a girl with ‘long’ hair. It was heartbreaking. But soon, I did go into remission only to relapse 3 years later. Things were different by then. I was getting married. I was shattered but I took it 1 day at a time. My body told me what to do & I listened. I went for a 3 week transformation program. I meditated, drank juices, ate sprouts, & introspected. I healed internally. And within months I beat cancer again & without the stem cell surgery! It’s been 9 years since then a lot has happened. I did more movies, wrote a book, raised cancer awareness, had kids, & did the unthinkable- found the courage to start an art platform! It’s ironic how a disease that usually brings the end to us changed my life completely & made me feel more alive than anything else ever did!” #NationalCancerAwarenessDay

Lisa Ray - 19.8K Likes - Got married to my habibi at 40 (because it never occurred to me not to)

Welcomed our glorious twin girls at 45 (because we have the technological advancements to assist a cancer survivor having children)

First book published at 46 (because it’s been my dream to be a published writer since I was a kid - and because telling your own story is essential) 

Co-founded an art tech platform at 50 (because I love art and now we have the disruptive tech to re-imagine how art is shared, bought and enjoyed)

Lived in 5 diverse cities post marriage across Asia (because why would you remain in one place if you have the opportunity to experience more?)

Healed and learned to cherish and prioritise health, spiritual growth and happiness above everything (because this process is lifelong) 

Worked on a hit OTT show, playing a super fun, unconventional character at 49, that suddenly made me hot with Gen Z 😂 (only after the producer-friend pinned me down with the promise of a female led set) 

Learned tennis at 42 (because, why not?)

This after getting diagnosed with cancer at 37. (Blessings come in many disguises)

…..

This particular chapter comes post a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma - a blood cancer - and a thriving career in front of the camera that while it afforded a level of fame and independence, nearly killed me. I happily leave the fame game to those more constitutionally suited. The business of entertainment is not aligned with my values and inner life. 

But it has given me a platform to say:

Society’s rules? WHAT RULES?

If it has never occurred to live on your own terms, WHY NOT?

Lisa Ray - 17.7K Likes - Family portrait with shona @sayanigupta between shots on the set of #4MoreShotsPlease (trying to find non-spoiler photos with @banij but I can’t!) This was ‘bring your Soufflé to work day’, because, you know, working moms 😂✌🏼❤️ We didn’t have a cast and crew screening for @4moreshotspls S2 (because, you know, pandemic) so I’m sending out massive love and cheers to the fabulous, generous, Uber talented girl gang.
Man, this season is...something. L.I.T. The antidote to all the dire news, but still complex and entertaining and all heart. 
Love y’all and raising my glass to all of you  @rangitapritishnandy @nupurasthana @nehapartimatiyani @devikabhagat7 @misschamko @sayanigupta @shibanidandekar @iamkirtikulhari @maanvigagroo @banij @aasthasharma @reannmoradian

UPDATE: I’m very political but choose not to indulge my politics during a humanitarian crisis. This is a repost of a tweet by a DOCTOR in India. Please don’t post political views- even ones I am aligned with- here. The polarising discourse emerging from India is toxic and draining from both sides. Use your own platform to vent your anger and anguish. Let’s be clear, the current government has a frightening amount of failings. But this is not about that. This is solely dedicated to celebrating frontline workers in India. Yes, the administration has failed India, the negligence and lack of support for citizens is monstrous. There is a an indictment of the governance that led to this situation embedded in the words. If you can’t see it, we don’t see language as a subversive weapon in the same way 🙏🏼 my deepest condolences to everyone who has lost someone they love during these devastating times.

Not everyone will recognize your worth, but love your skin and the stories it tells, your experiences, your essence- know your worth woman!- and the world will reflect back your radiance. (And if it doesn’t, fuck it. You’re lovable and perfect regardless)

‘The actress says she wanted to share her story to clear the myths around surrogacy. “I wanted to share our struggles and triumph. Having been open about my cancer journey and receiving so much unconditional support, sharing this moment of happiness feels right. Hopefully, our story can give hope to others who are struggling to have kids. Life throws you both challenges and miracles, and I’m unspeakably grateful for my miracle daughters,” she said. So, what plans does she have for her girls in future? “I will teach my girls to be resilient, strong, open, and that they can achieve anything they set their hearts on. There are no boundaries, except the ones in our minds and children have no idea of what they can and cannot achieve. Bringing up the next generation to be kind is the greatest chance we have for a better future. I can’t resist whispering in their tiny ears — ‘The Future is Female’,” she asserted.’

Two different realities coexist during this pandemic. One is physically, politically & economically devastating; while the other is a forced period of reflection which has already born fruit in the form of reminding us we’re one human family, connected with nature and each other

Chances are the Eastern European chocolate coated biscuit cake my mother served for my third birthday will not be part of the celebration. But there will be candles. No puffy sleeved frocks but a strong possibility of uneven bangs as well.

Lisa Ray - 12.8K Likes - My daughters’ 2nd birthday is coming up. The ability to rejoice during difficult times is the hallmark of the human spirit. My husband has told me childhood stories of bombs falling during dinner parties in Beirut, where the guests would dive under the table and toast each other once they emerged and the danger had passed. We all have it in us to celebrate life’s contradictions. And here’s me at three ✌️ I can still taste the crunch of the first bite of that layered Polish biscuit cake. Lao Tzu once said: what is childhood but the memory of particular tastes?

Lisa Ray - 11.8K Likes - Look at me
says the world with a harlequin grin.
A man is carrying his shards on tv
for dumbstruck viewers
who forgot to change the batteries 
of the remote.
On another screen
Mara resurrects in calligraphic roars
a cauldron of violence and pelting chants,
as a river of tongues-
all pink, unfurled and un-iridescent hued-
bay for the Dream House.
We watch a covenant collapsing under its awnings
like cardboard dreams
in the thousands.
And here,
in another mandala of grief,
we are synthesizing green
as we lay the keywords on a quiet side street
like elephant bones.
Ducking, dodging, adapting
whatever comes next-
What’s after ‘safe distancing’? And how’s a ‘brave new world’ to march
when there’s not enough oars
enough tablecloth to hide your children,
enough gold and grain
for every hand to sow.
On this carnal expedition
there’s not enough.
Not enough for every body, it seems.
Look at us, look at us
as we make flags of the weak
bind our knuckles with washclothes
our knees with toilet paper.
Illicit citizens are chewing up our bricks
they call from under buckets and masks
and your children’s cookies too.
Meanwhile a satellite confirms
the fire is coming
Kalki is coming.
Even a single cell can smell it.
Come, they call-
Take this pebble
throw it into the eyes of the Goddess.
See we are wrapping her in carnival clothes
making offerings of candyfloss and peanuts.
It’s the only way to pray.
It’s the hovercraft that will save us.
See us, see us
They call with holographic grins. -Lisaraniray @protestpoet
