Lisa Ray to open yoga studio in Toronto


Lisa RayMarriage seems far away from Lisa Ray's mind. Speaking exclusively, Lisa reveals she has big career plans this year including the opening of a Yoga studio in Toronto for which, work is on full-throttle at the moment. Yoga, it must be mentioned, provided Lisa with tremendous emotional spiritual and physical solace during her prolonged illness and recovery last year. And now Lisa is ready to share her Yoga gyan with the world. Lisa says there's no room for marriage in her life right now. "This news has come completely out of left field. It was most unexpected! I'd love to clarify matters as I'm working on projects in India and don't want my work colleagues out in India to get the impression that I'm not committed to my projects and work out there." Ask her about the status of her relationship with her faithful companion Brett Wilson and Lisa says, "The point is, marriage is not on the cards. The news that came out is unfounded. I am very good friends with Brett and I described marriage as an 'imperfect institution' to make light of the situation, not to make light of marriage." Lisa is excited about her projects this year. "I'm opening a hot yoga studio here in Brampton, Canada. There's so much to look forward to this year. Every day is a blessing. I was recently at the Toronto Film Critics Association dinner where I was surrounded with love and compliments on my 'Second Coming' (the near-death illness). I'm working on a kick-ass series for TLC. Finalising some film projects soon. Involved in another momentous stem-cell event in Toronto. Life is grand. I'm so blessed to live and work in two different worlds."
