Queen helped in shaping my career

Hailing from a modelling background made her put in extra efforts to convince people about her capabilities as an actor, but Lisa Haydon says that Kangana Ranaut-starrer ‘Queen’, in which she played the part of the bohemian single mother Vijay Laxmi, has changed her life in many ways on the career front.

“My life has changed a lot post 'Queen' because that was a breakthrough film where people acknowledged my acting. It is always difficult to break preconceptions if you are coming from modelling background. I feel that you have to work harder and prove yourself if you have a successful modelling career.

“All the girls have gone through this but I believe 'Queen' was the film where people took notice of me. I am very grateful as the film has changed my life in many ways on the career front,” Lisa said.

The model-turned-actress was last seen on the big screen in ‘Shaukeens’. Her next film is ‘Houseful 3’ where she will be seen sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and many more.

Asked about the film, the actress said, “We haven't started shooting as yet, but yeah I am excited as I am doing comedy again and this is my favourite zone, so I am looking forward to it,” said Haydon.
