From performing with Kareena Kapoor in Tareefan Reprise to working with Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar in The Royals, Lisa Mishra has come a long way. And she's not stopping anytime soon. In this expansive, emotional, and at times hilarious episode of AfterHours with All About Eve podcast, singer-songwriter and Netflix star Lisa Mishra joins Bani Anand for a conversation that is equal parts soul-baring and unfiltered. Lisa reflects on her remarkable journey — she grew up in a traditional Indian household in the United States and had a secure job in data analytics before she took a leap of faith to pursue music full-time in India. That leap led to viral success with her cover of Tareefan, acting opportunities, and now a globally trending Netflix series, The Royals, which recently broke into the Top 3 worldwide.She shares what it was like to fly to India to record Tareefan with Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, battling nerves and obsessively memorising lyrics for 23 hours straight on the plane, feeling as though she were still auditioning. She fondly recalls how Kareena Kapoor was surprised that Lisa was singing live during the Tareefan shoot. She also reflects on the organic success of her duet Mujhe Tum Nazar Se with Adarsh Gourav, a song that continues to gain traction.Working with Zeenat Aman, Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar on The RoyalsThe podcast also delves into her time on the set of The Royals, where she worked alongside legendary figures such as Zeenat Aman, whose poise and presence left a lasting impact. Lisa expresses her admiration for Zeenat Aman’s Instagram, a blend of vintage Bollywood charm and modern storytelling. Lisa speaks with moving honesty about the emotional toll of success, including the loneliness of being far from her family, and the importance of her inner circle. A touching anecdote involves her connection with actor Paresh Pahuja, with whom she toured on Voice Notes — a project done purely for the joy of it. She gets candid about the darker side of ambition: moments of doubt, burnout, and the deep yearning to simply rest.As the interview unfolds, Lisa also shares exciting details about her upcoming music, including her song Teri Hoon, a heartfelt, stripped-down track that brings her back to her roots with live instruments and emotional vulnerability, reminiscent of her early YouTube days. She talks about resisting trends like inserting viral dance hook steps into every track, choosing instead to stay authentic.(00:00) Episode begins(2:53) Lisa on The Royals & fan reactions(4:01) Working with Zeenat Aman(7:05) Flying to India for Tareefan Reprise(10:07) Are her parents proud?(12:22) Why do women doubt their success?(15:06) Independent artist vs. working with a label(17:36) New song: Teri Hoon(20:13) Tareefan & 'Mujhe Tum Nazar Se' with Adarsh Gourav(25:30) Lisa Mishra's celebrity crush(26:40) Reacting to Ishaan Khatter's shirtless scenes(27:10) Riding a horse for The Royals(28:18) Portraying love on screen with Kavya Trehan(30:30) How Lisa knows someone’s into her(33:43) How to recognise "the one"(34:56) Dating in your 30s(37:36) On working with Kareena Kapoor(38:58) Today’s superstar potential(43:48) Why Lisa needs a break(46:15) Bond with Paresh Pahuja(47:01) Making friends as an adult(51:32) Dealing with “enemies”(52:18) Does Lisa ghost people?(52:40) Has she been ghosted?(53:37) Accepting flaws(54:58) Back to roots: Teri Hoon(57:29) How Lisa Mishra unwinds AfterHoursFollow us: Instagram:   / allabouteve_in   Facebook:   / allaboutevein  Pinterest:   / allabouteve_in  Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#theroyals #netflix #lismishra #kareenakapoorkhan #zeenataman #interview #podcast #ishankhattar #bollywood #bollywoodinterview
