She is a successful musician, and transitioning into acting, while not an easy journey, is something Lisa Mishra has strived for. After her stint in Call Me Bae (2024), where she made her debut as both actor and composer while crooning two numbers, she was seen in Netflix’s The Royals. She is grateful for the love and acceptance she has received from Indian audiences as she balances her career in music and acting. Now, Mishra is all set to kickstart the second season of the Ananya Panday-starrer Call Me Bae, and The Royals 2, which has been officially announced.
“These shows have changed the way people see me. For the longest time, I was only thought of as a musician. Now, casting directors are calling me in because they’ve seen what I can bring to a character. What’s been most rewarding is the support I’ve felt through the transition,” Mishra explains. While most actors often get stereotyped, she has been “fortunate to work with directors and co-actors who encouraged me to trust my instincts.”
For the Lollapalooza performer, while music remains her foundation, acting has definitely opened “a new world of storytelling for me”. “The decisions I made to step into films and series weren’t easy, but seeing how warmly people have embraced me makes it all worthwhile. I couldn’t be more excited to continue with Call Me Bae 2 and The Royals 2. It’s a beautiful feeling to be able to do both and enjoy every step of it.”
