Queen changed my life, says lisa

It is always difficult to break preconceptions if you are coming from modelling background. You have to work harder and prove yourself if you have a successful modelling career,” she says. “All the girls have gone through this but I believe Queen was the film where people took notice of me,” lisa adds.
