Ray of hope

In the 1980's Bombay Dyeing relied on two folks to push their products - Karan Kapoor and Lisa Ray. Karan Kapoor had a brief stint as an actor and faded away. Lisa Ray seemed to be going down the same path until she came roaring back in the late 90's and has been a regular in movies since then.

Like many other actors, Lisa Ray maintains a blog. Unlike most other actors, however, she is very articulate and provides personal details. (Even Amitabh Bachchan who blogs about almost anything related to him rarely provides personal details.) A few days ago, Lisa shared something of an intensely personal nature. It takes great courage to tell people the news she shared and, more impressively, it takes greater courage to be able to deal with it the way she has been.

I hope she beats it and has a long and prosperous future ahead of her.
