Tamil Tv Actress Biography
While on a promotional junket in Los Angeles for Bend It Like Beckham, Nagra was informed by her agent that ER producer John Wells was interested in meeting with her.[citation needed] Director Gurinder Chadha claimed during a 2007 episode of BBC's Movie Connections that she arranged the meeting, because she had recommended Nagra for the role of the new Indian character in ER during a conversation with her friend Wells.[citation needed]
At their initial meeting, Wells made Nagra an offer to join the ensemble cast; she accepted immediately. In recalling the moment, she said, "I had to sit still and act professional, while all the time I just wanted to jump up and run around the room screaming".[citation needed] Not long after the meeting, Nagra signed a one-year contract that included an option for three additional years. Despite her new status, Nagra said, "I don't think Hollywood has changed me at all. The first thing I did when I arrived was buy chapati flour and lentils".[citation needed]
Nagra made her first ER appearance as County General Hospital medical student Neela Rasgotra on 25 September 2003, in the tenth season premiere entitled, "Now What?". Wells adapted the character to suit Nagra, so she could act with her own English accent in portraying the Yale-educated Anglo-Indian Neela Rasgotra. Nagra would go on to appear in twenty-one of the season's twenty-two episodes, including season 10: episode 12 called "NICU" and season 10: episode 17 called "The Student", episodes in which her character played a central role. Noah Wyle, on announcing his departure from the series, described Nagra as "the future" of ER,[3] and the media has concurred, anointing her as one of the show's "golden girls".[citation needed] From season 15: episode 4 called "Parental Guidance", following the departures of Goran Visnjic, Maura Tierney and Mekhi Phifer, Nagra was the longest serving cast member and star of ER until the series concluded with season 15: episode 22 which was the two-hour series finale called "And in the End..." which aired on 2 April 2009.
Nagra had the honour of being a torch bearer as the Olympic torch passed through London on its way to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[4] Nagra finished filming season 11 of ER later in 2005 and returned to her native Leicester to work on director Amit Gupta's Love in Little India[5] in which she was cast as the female lead. She was nominated in 2006 for an Asian Excellence Award, in the category of Outstanding Female Television Performance, for her work in ER; she won the award the following year.[6] Nagra was awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctors of Letters by the University of Leicester on 11 July 2007.[7]
Nagra was cast as Cassandra in the DC animated movie Batman: Gotham Knight (2008).
Nagra is now starring in Alcatraz since January 2012
On 17 January 2009 Nagra married her boyfriend of seven years, photographer James Stenson. The couple had two ceremonies: a civil one and a Sikh one. ER co-stars Scott Grimes and John Stamos performed at the ceremony, and former ER co-star and friend Maura Tierney officiated over the ceremony.[8] Their son, Kai David Singh Stenson, was born on 19 May 2009.[9] On 8 February 2012 it was reported that she had filed for divorce.[10]Bend It Like Beckham was Nagra's breakthrough film. It was directed by British director Gurinder Chadha and also starred Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anupam Kher, Shaheen Khan and Keira Knightley, for whom this film was also a career breakthrough. In the film, Nagra plays Jessminder "Jess" Bhamra, a teenage Sikh football player who idolizes football superstar David Beckham and defies her traditional parents to pursue her dreams of playing football.
The small-budget picture was a critical and financial success in the United Kingdom, eventually making the leap around the world and to Canada and the U.S. where it earned over $30 million at the box office.[citation needed] The script, conceived by Chadha with her husband Paul Mayeda Berges and Guljit Bindra, was written with Nagra in mind.[citation needed] While initially indifferent to the game of football, Nagra found the football-centred story to be both funny and touching.[citation needed] She agreed to audition and eventually accepted the role. An intensive ten-week training course of the game Futsal, led by noted coach Simon Clifford, put Nagra through rigorous nine-hour-a-day workouts. Nagra learned to "bend" or curve the ball in flight, as she did in a scene in the film. In a nod to Nagra's actual life, director Chadha wrote and incorporated a scene about Nagra's
