Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost #ShveitaSharma I distinctly remember that call from my friend and fellow Tedx wanchai organizer Shelly Govila“ Shveitta, do you know Lisa Ray ? I have heard of her but I don’t know her I said. “ Shelly then excitedly told me that a common friend had connected us with Lisa and we now had to meet with her and see if she would agree to be a speaker for Tedx Wanchai.” I emailed Lisa, Shelly and I set up a meeting with her at Cova cafe in pacific place. Both of us were really excited at the prospect of meeting a Bollywood celebrity. As we arrived at the cafe, we saw someone wave at us. I was taken aback and both Shelly and I looked at each other and surprised that a celebrity was there before us and she even recognized us. She had us at hello ! We talked, we laughed, we hugged, and decided to meet again soon. After Lisa left, Shelly and I stared at each other with our mouths open and recalled what just happened. Did we just meet a celebrity ? She was so down to earth, so normal and so much like us. We left the cafe exhilarated at our meeting and I decided to follow up with Lisa and see if she would agree to speak at the Tedx wanchai stage. Sadly that did not happen but something amazing did happen. Lisa and I became very dear friends.
