Lisa Ray shared a photo of herself, which has freckles, and shows signs of ageing but the actress has embraced it and flaunted it. It goes without saying that Lisa is sure a beauty. After all, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and everyone should start loving their self without being harsh upon them, states Ray's post.

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, f**k it. You’re lovable and perfect regardless) Thanks @binapunjani for clearing the way for more of me and less hair to hide behind [sic]"

Lisa Ray has survived multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, which she announced to the world at the red carpet of Toronto International Film Festival in 2009. In an earlier interview with mid-day during her book [Close To The Bone] launch, Ray spoke about how she feels naked despite wearing the makeup. "I have put on shooting make-up and I am talking about my book, which is a serious piece of writing. Why not? When I get glammed up and transform, it's like a person putting on a suit to head to work. It's my uniform. At one time, I would dress as raggedy as possible, to say, you don't know me. Today, even with make-up, I feel naked," she said.
Lisa, born to a Bengali father and Polish mother, became an overnight sensation as a model when she appeared on the Bombay Dyeing advertisement in the 1990s. The actress tied the knot with Jason Dehni in 2012 and was blessed with twin daughters Sufi and Soleil in September 2018.
