Prior to that, the actress avoided card games since she was not interested in such kind of games. Shortly thereafter, Lamba became a real poker fan.

«Poker is not gambling. It is a sport. You train for it and then you have good days and bad days. It’s like trading or playing sports. It’s a mind game not because you have to be intelligent, but because you can be your own worst enemy on the bad days», Minissha said.
