Actress Lisa Ray engaged in a rather strong Twitter conversation where she was called ‘too old’ by a Twitter user. Lisa Ray instantly replied him saying, “You’re right. I’m old. Older than time, my boy. Perhaps, you will never grow up in your mind but your body will and it’s a blessing to be wise, a cancer survivor and living my best life at 46. Unshakeably secure and happy in my spirit and body. Hope you can experience that one day.”
The actress who was last seen in web series Four More Shots Please!, was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer in 2009 and a year later, she was declared a survivor.
A lot of fans including actors like Suniel Shetty and Ileana D’Cruz applauded Lisa Ray for her reply and said she “put it up well.” Twitter users told Lisa that she gave a “befitting reply and gracefully presented it.” “You go, girl. More power to you. Live your life the way you want to,” read a tweet.
To the troll later, Lisa simply replied by saying that “‘too’ to ‘old’ is a symptom of society’s unrealistic expectations for women” and “wished him well.”

Honestly not hurt, but adding ‘too’ to ‘old’ is a symptom of society’s unrealistic expectations for women. Imp. to embrace age. This dialogue is good to highlight each’s state of mind. When I was young, I was different and craved guidance towards a wider, kinder perspective 🙏🏽 https://t.co/y7dBH368h8

Thank you for your tweet. And I believe people are not reacting to you personally, but society’s dysfunctional attitude towards women and age in public spheres, speaking through you. Wish you well. https://t.co/y7dBH368h8
