Hollywood star Lisa Ray who  recently released her memoir titled Close to The Bone hopes that people get to know her more and not just as a sex symbol.

According to the report of PTI, Lisa  told the reporters that being known as a sex symbol at the age of 16 still haunts her. Lisa said, "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."

She further added that with her memoir. She said, "A lot of people will understand how I have this ambivalent relationship with my career, how I am an accidental actress, how I always had one foot in and one foot out of it and how I believe that I have been underestimated only because of the way I look. Although, I don’t believe they shouldn’t be at odds with each other."
