Lisa Ray To Host For TLC

Toronto-born, Canadian actress Lisa Ray has signed with the lifestyle channel TLC to anchor a new travel-based show in 2011, that will "...depict the cultural backdrop of India like never before..."

Ray was originally a journalism student, before being approached by a fashion magazine to pose for a cover. This opportunity steered her into a high-profile career, leading to her acting in the film "Kasoor" (2000).

Canadian director Deepa Mehta then cast her as the lead in "Bollywood/Hollywood" (2002) and "Water" (2005).
