Actor Lisa Ray may have had a successful acting career with critically-acclaimed films including “Water” (2005) and international TV shows such as “Blood Ties” to her credit but the 42-year-old says that she matured as a performer only after she battled cancer six years back. Lisa underwent treatment for Multiple Myloma in 2009. The actor says that she’s a calmer person now and not in a rush to prove herself. “To a certain extent I believe that ever since my treatment got over, I have opened up more, creatively. I am more self conscious now. I am not in any kind of a rush anymore and I am much more relaxed. I have matured a lot as an actor. In fact I am a damn good actor now,” says an upbeat Lisa.
