I had explored theatre in the past, and acting was always something I was passionate about, but this project really reignited that love for me. It gave me the opportunity to discover myself as an actor, learn on the job, and explore a completely different side of my creativity. At the same time, I was able to bring my musical side into the project, which made the experience even more special. It felt like the perfect space to begin this journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for what it has opened up for me.”
With the second season now wrapped, Lisa is excited about bringing her character back to the screen and continuing to build on the experience.

Music will always be a huge part of my life, but I’m also actively exploring acting opportunities now and looking forward to taking on roles that challenge me in different ways. It’s exciting to be able to pursue both passions and see where each takes me.”
With Call Me Bae marking a turning point in her journey, Lisa Mishra is embracing a phase of her career that allows her to move fluidly between music and acting.
