Born of mixed parentage (an Indian father and a Polish mother) in Toronto. Lisa Ray came east and found fame and fortune in South Asia's glamour capital Bombay. A decade ago she created a sensation in the modelling world in Bombay when she appeared in an advertisement clad in a towel for Bombay Dyeing a leading Indian textile company. This was not planned that time she was only sweet sixteen and visited India on vacation.

Soon then she acquired a Supermodel status and became one of the most sought out faces in the industry. Some years later she appeared in Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Afreen video.

Her debut film was Vikram Bhatt's Kasoor in which she has acted quite well, considering it is her maiden attempt in films. Then her one more film came Hollywood Bollywood opposite Rahul Khanna. For future Lisa is not much enthusiastic about pursuing an acting career in Bollywood, although there are chances of her doing more films for the Bhatts. Lisa has now moved away from Bollywood and staying in London.
