Lisa Mishra Calls Meeting Pharrell Williams A ‘Surreal' Moment: 'He's Shaped So Much...'
Lisa Mishra meets Pharrell Williams at a private dinner, calling the moment "surreal" and a creative milestone in her journey as a global musician and actor.
Musician and actor Lisa Mishra recently had what she calls one of the most unforgettable experiences of her year—an exclusive encounter with global music and fashion icon Pharrell Williams. The two met at an invite-only dinner held at an intimate private event, and the moment left a lasting impression on the multi-talented artist.
Known for her soulful voice, genre-defying music, and rising presence in both Bollywood and the global indie scene, Lisa was visibly thrilled to meet Pharrell, who currently serves as the Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. Sharing the moment on her social media, she referred to the meeting as 'surreal" and a highlight of her journey so far.
'Meeting Pharrell was surreal," Lisa said. 'I've looked up to him for years—not just as a musician, but as a visionary who constantly pushes creative boundaries. To have a moment with someone whose art has shaped so much of mine was truly special."
Pharrell, whose influence spans decades and industries—from producing chart-topping hits to reinventing luxury menswear—has long been a source of inspiration for Lisa. As a young Indian-American artist making waves with her unique blend of pop, R&B, and Indian musical influences, this brief yet powerful meeting symbolized a full-circle moment in her artistic evolution.
Lisa is currently riding high on the success of her recent single Teri Hoon and her acting role in the hit web series The Royals. She also made headlines earlier this year after performing live with Ed Sheeran during his India tour—an achievement that cemented her growing global presence.
With both Pharrell and Lisa celebrated for their boundary-pushing creativity, this meeting felt less like a chance encounter and more like a nod to the global crossover that defines today's most exciting artists.
As Lisa continues to chart her own path in music and film, moments like these serve as milestones—not just of success, but of recognition, inspiration, and shared artistic vision.

The Hombale Films produced Mahavatar Narsimha is roaring at the box office in Hindi, and has proved to be another surprise package of 2025. The animated film, rooted in Indian Mythology, opened at Rs 1.35 crore on Friday, followed by a 150 percent jump to Rs 3.25 crore on Saturday, and another 110 percent spike on Sunday to collect Rs 6.50 crore to 7.00 crore. The 3-day total of Mahavatar Narsimha stands at Rs 11.35 crore in Hindi, and the film is now headed to record a long theatrical run in North India. Mahavatar Narsimha first animated success in Hindi since Hanuman The jumps have come all across the board, which resulted in an increased showcasing too on public demand. The film released in Hindi on 800 shows on Friday, followed by 1100 shows on Saturday and peaked with 2000 shows on Sunday. Mahavatar Narsimha is the first animated film since Hanuman (2005) to hit the bullseye at the box office in Hindi, and to think of it, it also might be the first ever animated super hit, as Hanuman was more of a Semi-Hit grosser. The genre has a big reach among the kids, who often step out to consume international content in animation, but the mytho-connect has brought in families in the metros and mass belts alike. The Hombale Films produced saga has seen a 400 percent spike from Friday to Sunday, which is a rare phenomenon in the theatrical world in modern times. This is another winner for Hombale Films in Hindi after KGF, KGF 2, Salaar and Kantara, and the producers will be aiming to scale up further this year with Kantara: Chapter 1. The audiences are now back in cinema halls, as they are buying tickets for films on a week-on-week basis, and the theatrical sector is blooming again like the pre-pandemic world. The Monday of Mahavatar Narsimha will be higher than Friday, and one needs to wait to see how big the biz is on the fourth day. The film is a HIT in 3-days flat, and is poised to just go higher towards the SUPER-HIT or who knows, even the BLOCKBUSTER tag in the coming weeks, as the weekend trend is that of an EPIC-BLOCKBUSTER Friday: Rs 1.35 crore Saturday: Rs 3.25 crore Sunday: Rs 6.75 crore (Estimates) Total: Rs 11.25 crore

Tom Lehrer dies at 97: Satirical singer found dead at home; Harvard math genius famed for taboo-breaking songs
Tom Lehrer (Picture source: X) Tom Lehrer, the sharp-witted American singer and satirist known for his darkly comic songs, has died at the age of 97. He was found dead on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lehrer first found fame in the 1950s with his self-produced albums, but it was the 1960s TV show That Was the Week That Was that brought his biting humour to a wider audience. Despite his cult following, Lehrer always saw himself primarily as a mathematician. He taught at Harvard, MIT and later at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he spent most of his later life. Known for tackling taboo topics through satire, such as war, drug use, and religion, Lehrer's songs like The Masochism Tango, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Vatican Rag pushed boundaries during the Eisenhower era. His 1965 album That Was the Year That Was hit No. 18 on the US charts. Born in New York to a Jewish family, Lehrer was a prodigy who entered Harvard at 15. Though he left showbiz early, his work remained popular, featured in radio shows, stage revues, and re-released albums. Lehrer never married and had no children.
