"We have to stop putting up with these unrealistic aspirations and it has to start with the media. There is so much of photo shopping and things like that that go on in the media. I think we all love beautiful images but we also have to understand what goes into making those images," said Lisa, who was in Kolkata to launch diamond timepieces by Swiss watchmaker Rado.
A cancer survivor herself, she says that she is conscious of her age but is practical in her outlook towards ageing.
"I am very happy and comfortable in my own skin today but I am 43 now and obviously I am never going to look like me when I was 20," she said.
