“First thing I do when I wake up is kiss my dogs!” says Minissha Lamba
The actor talks about Googling lyrics of Miley Cyrus songs, a dessert that describes her, and what she wears to bed, in an intimate chat
With an unusual name (Minissha means ‘daughter of mankind’) and an angelic face, Minissha Lamba debuted with the film Yahaan in 2005. An actor by accident, she comes across as a smart and fun-loving girl who actually wanted to be a war correspondent. A voracious reader, Minissha keeps herself updated with all that makes news and wouldn’t mind speaking about serious issues on social media. An adventure seeker who loves chilling on beaches and snorkelling, the actor also claims to be a romantic at heart but with some level of reality thrown in. This beauty with brains needs a good conversation besides emotional loyalty from her man, and would happily swipe right for Idris Elba on Tinder. A self-acclaimed chaat lover, Minissha misses her college days at Miranda House in Delhi, more so the amazing street food.
