Bhagyashree and Lisa Ray discuss menopause and women's health

Indian actresses Bhagyashree and Lisa Ray have shared personal insights regarding menopause and women's midlife health.

Bhagyashree highlighted the importance of physical movement to support the body during menopause. Through her ‘Tuesday Tips’ series, she recommended daily routines involving deep breathing, joint mobility exercises, and meditation to help manage metabolism and strength.

Lisa Ray discussed experiencing early menopause at age 37 due to the effects of chemotherapy. She noted a lack of understanding regarding the transition and cited a 2025 Indian study showing that many women in under-resourced communities are unaware of menopause effects or available treatments. Ray co-founded NuHer, an organization dedicated to women’s midlife and hormonal health, to address these gaps in care.
