New Delhi: Minissha Lamba, who has been appointed Celebrity Pro by an online poker platform, says being an actor doesn’t help her much when she’s playing because every player at the game’s table masters the poker face.
“On the poker table, everyone’s a great actor. They are all brilliant actors there… So, it (being an actor) doesn’t help much at all,” Minissha, who will represent Adda52.com at WPT 500 Aria poker tournament in Las Vegas later this month, said.
Known for films like Yahaan, Bachna Ae Haseeno and Well Done Abba, Minissha picked up the skill of playing the card game after some friends from abroad introduced her to it around six years ago.
“A couple of my friends had come down from abroad and they were talking about poker. Of course, one knows there’s a game called poker, but I always thought it’s a bit difficult, and told them, ‘I’m pretty dyslexic with numbers and it sounds complicated’.” “But the more they taught me and explained the game to me, the more I felt I could be attracted to it,” said the actress, who still doesn’t consider herself a “pro” at it.
