About this listen
“When we are young, we are gifted with short-sightedness, which gives us bravery. As we age, we gain insight, which gives us wisdom.” Award-winning actor, author, and supermodel Lisa Ray reflects on her extraordinary journey in this powerful and intimate episode of the SIG Learning Series, hosted by Programme Head Karishma Bhansali Mehta.
From her meteoric rise to fame as a 16-year-old supermodel gracing the cover of Gladrags magazine in a pre-globalised 1990s India, to her poignant performance in the Oscar-nominated film Water, and her courageous fight against cancer in 2009, Lisa Ray’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. Now an accomplished author, businesswoman, mother, and cancer survivor, Lisa offers an unfiltered glimpse into her remarkable life.
In this raw and real conversation, Lisa shares insights from her memoir, Close to the Bone, delving into the traumatic aftermath of a car accident that left her mother wheelchair-bound, her long battle with eating disorders, and the deeply personal journey of being the first Indian celebrity to publicly disclose a cancer diagnosis on the red carpet. She speaks candidly about her path to self-healing, embracing self-love, and finding purpose beyond the spotlight.
