Model-actress Lisa Haydon says her biggest struggle as an actor was the perception, before “Queen” was released, she can’t act.

“People did not perceive me as someone who could act and ‘Queen’ was my opportunity to show them that I am not just a model as I can play a character too,” Lisa told IANS.

“I believe in something called the big break. ‘Aisha’ was a small role but ‘Queen’ is like my first film. People started believing in me after that,” she added.
