Indo Canadian actress Lisa Ray says penning her life story for a memoir, which will be out in the summer of 2019, has transported her to myriad experiences and the emotions of a life lived “close to the bone”.<\/p>\n
Lisa, who recently surprised everyone with the news of becoming a mother of twins through surrogacy, will be publishing the book with HarperCollins India.<\/p>\n
“I am both nervous and excited about the publication of my memoir. Writing my story has transported me through a myriad of experiences and worlds, and the emotions of a life lived close to the bone,” Lisa said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The yet untitled memoir promises to be 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 with her nominated film “Water”; her battle with eating disorder; being diagnosed with multiple myeloma; her spiritual quest; and the heartaches and triumphs of her journey.<\/p>\n
“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,” she added.<\/p>\n
In 2009, Lisa was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the white blood cells known as plasma cells, which produce antibodies. A year later, she announced that she was cancer-free, after a stem cell transplant.<\/p>\n
The actress made a comeback in Hindi filmdom in 2016 with “Ishq Forever”. She was later seen in films like “Veerappan” and “Dobaraa”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
