While many in the entertainment industry feel pressured to stick to one identity, Lisa Mishra is choosing to do things her own way.

The singer and actor is stepping into 2026 with a clear intention — to continue building her career in both music and acting, without giving up either.

With Call Me Bae 2 now officially on floors and progressing smoothly, Lisa Mishra is balancing packed shoot days with time in the studio — and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

For Lisa Mishra, music and acting are not competing passions. They are two sides of the same creative coin. New music projects are currently in the works, while her acting slate is steadily growing. Instead of feeling stretched, she feels energised by the duality.

Opening up about how both crafts shape her differently, Lisa Mishra says, “Music trained my emotions, acting trained my silence. When I started out as a singer, I learned how to feel deeply and express without filters using the power of my voice and the music that flows. Acting later taught me the value of restraint, of pauses, and of letting stillness speak. As I look toward 2026, I’m excited to keep experimenting in both spaces. I am currently juggling between working on music and acting work simultaneously and that really excites me. I don’t want to abandon music to act, or act at the cost of music”.

She admits that the industry often tries to put artists in neat boxes, but that is something she resists. “People often want to simplify you into one version or one stream of work. But I don’t experience my creativity that way. I’m constantly evolving, and experimentation is what keeps me honest as an artist,” she adds.

“I don’t think now that i have been working as an actor i would do away one without the other. I want to be able to do justice to do both and hopefully excel in work that truly excites me. In fact i feel, working on singing or acting motivates me as an artist in each of these fields. Entertaining audiences is the larger goal for me, and that’s what i set to do this year, on stage and on screen”.
