Lisa Ray Instagram – Happy Birthday to my mentor, surrogate mother figure, my director, friend and iconic, original talent @deepamehtaofficial As you can see I have morphed considerably over the years while Deepa embodies a masterclass in how to uncompromisingly be yourself. It’s taken me years to get there. To finally relax in myself and not hesitate to tell people to sod off – with a smile. Love you Deepa ji.
