Lisa Ray disappointed after leading publication uses her bold picture

Model-actress-writer Lisa Ray has expressed her disappointment after a leading newspaper used a salacious picture of her for her article instead of putting the author image of her. Taking to her social media handle, the actress wrote, “For an article about my memoir @CloseToTheBone_ where I talk about struggling as a women with overcoming sexist stereotypes? Just landed in Kolkata and I must say I’m disappointed @ttindia.”

Does anyone else see the irony in using THIS image – instead of an author image provided- for an article about my memoir @CloseToTheBone_ where I talk about struggling as a women with overcoming sexist stereotypes?

On her Instagram handle, sharing the same screenshot she further wrote, “I’ve written in depth on this manner of casual sexism during the 90s in India in @closetothebone.book but it seems it still persists. We NEED to change the narrative. What say?”

The Water actress wrote in another tweet, “one would expect journalists and media to be part of the solution not the problem in perpetuating casual sexism.”

Yes, agreed. But one would expect journalists and media to be part of the solution not the problem in perpetuating casual sexism in 2019. It’s not enough to say ‘aisa hota hai’ anymore ?? https://t.co/eG8BvQNi15

Recently, while promoting her new book, Close To The Bone, Lisa told PTI, “I hate to be labelled and put into boxes but I had to deal with it since a young age because I was a sex symbol at the age of 16. It was completely unanticipated. To suddenly become this figure for an entire nation and on top of that, to look much older, that has haunted me my entire life up until now.”
