BIOGRAPHY

Twenty-one-year-old Minissha Lamba is a Delhi girl. She graduated in English Honours from DU’s Miranda House. Her father was the general manager of the Grand Palace Hotel in Srinagar. She herself has lived in Kashmir for two years.

Even as she was doing her graduation in Delhi, Minissha kept dabbling in modeling on the sidelines and was a part of successful television commercials like LG, Sony, Cadbury, Hajmola, Airtel, Sunsilk, among others.

It was in an audition for a Cadbury ad in Delhi when she met director Shoojit Sircar who offered her the leading role in his first feature film Yahaan.

Although Minissha never intended to use modeling as a stepping-stone to films, she took Sircar’s offer and moved on to acting in films. She says if she couldn’t have been an actress, she would have wanted to be a war correspondent.
She got her first break unexpectedly, when she was auditioning for a Cadbury commercial in Delhi. Bollywood Director, Shoojit Sircar, approached her and signed her to to act in his yet untitled movie.

She will be re-locating to Bombay, and hopes to land other offers once there.
