Indian-Canadian actress Lisa Ray has got engaged to boyfriend Jason Dehni. Jason proposed Lisa on a recent vacation in California’s Napa Valley.

Ecstatic Lisa lets the world know about this via social-networking site. She tweets, ”Delicious update’: ENGAGED to the love of my life. Jason Dehni proposed in Napa. Went to Napa Valley, God’s country, looking for my angel Lisaray Found her and brought her back an engaged woman.”

Lisa was successfully cured from cancer after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2009. A year later, it was announced that Lisa is cancer-free after a stem cell transplant surgery.

Thirty eight year-old Indo-Canadian actor Lisa Ray, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, is ready for her first acting assignment after recovery. Ray will act in play called Taj, which will be staged in Toronto on June 10, alongside Kabir Bedi. Bedi, who returns to the stage after a hiatus of seven years, will play Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, while Ray will play his daughter, Jahan Ara.

Ray, who was in the city this March to promote stem cell therapy and research, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer of the white blood cells that affects the bone marrow. However, in April last year, Ray announced she was cancer-free, following radical stem cell therapy treatment. Ray expressed her happiness about returning to acting.

“I can’t wait! It’s going to be a thrill and honour to work with Kabir, Lata Pada (the producer) and Tom Diamond, the director. I was compelled to be a part of a project which celebrates love and examines loss,” she said. Meanwhile, Bedi is hopeful that his second coming as the king will turn out more successful than the previous one.

“I had played Shah Jehan in Akbar Khan’s Taj Mahal. It suffered because of inept marketing. Hopefully this time, a lot more people will see me as Shah Jahan. I’ve seen other stage productions by director Tom Diamond and they are spectacular,” he said. “I knew Lisa from her early days in Bollywood. I was with Nikki Bedi (former partner) then, and Lisa and Nikki knew each other. After that, Lisa and I got busy with our own thing. We didn’t meet until now. It’s interesting that we’re getting together on stage as father and daughter,” added Bedi. More

The one time sensation Lisa Ray said she does not consider ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, which received eight Oscar awards, as one of the best films in the world.

“Slumdog is not a bad film. Technically, it is a good film. But I do not consider it the best in the world”, the actress told reporters.

Lisa, who wanted to be a journalist, said she began her modelling career ‘very early’ and came into Hindi films with ‘Kasoor’ in 2001. She has also acted in a Tamil film, ‘Nethaji’ opposite Sarat Kumar.

The actor said she had recently completed the shoot of ‘Black Box’, a French film. Source
