Lisa Ray, one of India’s first supermodels, actor, cancer survivor, and new mother of twins through surrogacy, will be publishing her memoir with HarperCollins India. The untitled memoir is an unflinching and deeply moving account of Lisa’s nomadic existence: her entry into the Indian entertainment industry; her relationship with her Bengali father and Polish mother; movie sets and the Oscars; her battle with eating disorders; being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma; her spiritual quest; and the heartaches and triumphs of her journey. It is also about Lisa’s search for love.
Lisa Ray says, “I am both nervous and excited about the publication of my memoir by HarperCollins India. Writing my story has transported me through a myriad of experiences and worlds, and the emotions of a life lived close to the bone. I’ve been working on this a long time and, after the birth of my twins, it feels like my third baby. It’s hard to tell your own story authentically without unwavering support. I hope this will be the first of many more stories I have to share.’
Diya Kar, HarperCollins India said: ‘Lisa’s memoir is candid, brave, and inspiring. We are delighted that we will be publishing the story of her remarkable journey-from being ‘discovered’ at 16 to being diagnosed with cancer at 37, this is a brutally honest account of one who’s lived life on her terms.’
