		Parminder Nagra, who scored with audiences and critics alike this year as a soccer-playing English teenager in the surprise hit film “Bend It Like Beckham,” joined the cast of “ER” as third-year medical student Neela Rasgotra in a decidedly less athletic role.
		Nagra was born and raised in Leicester, England but her family is originally from the state of Punjab in India.
		Nagra’s other credits include the upcoming film “Ella Enchanted.” She recently completed “Twelfth Night” for UK Channel 4 and also stars in the leading role for the channel’s two-part drama, “Second Generation.” In the United Kingdom, she also appeared in “A&E,” “Donovan Quick” and “Turning World.”

	Classic TV & Movie Hits - Parminder Nagra
		Parminder Kaur Nagra was born to Sikh parents who immigrated to the United Kingdom from the Punjab region of India in the late 1960s.
		Nagra, her two younger brothers, and a younger sister were raised in a small terrace house in the Belgrave section of Leicester by her mother and by her stepfather who worked as a bookkeeper at a cousin’s transport company.
		Although Nagra had cut her teeth in television and, to a lesser extent, in radio, her stage performances are perhaps the most noteworthy element in her corpus of work during her London years.

		Los Angeles, where Parminder is now based, really is a million miles away from her early days as a fledgling actress where in between stints on Holby City, Casualty, Judge John Deed, and others, Parminder took several temp jobs to pay for all those essential bills in the capital.
		Keira Knightley, co-actor to Parminder's Jess in Bend It, is now regularly appearing on the Hollywood Premier red carpets while Parminder's contract with ER is due for renewal at the end of this series.
		Parminder is the most easy going, feet-on-the-ground, naturally lively person who happens to be a major acting talent in the world.

	JS Online: 'Bend It' star happily takes trip to 'ER'
		Parminder Nagra (left) has moved from a British soccer field to an American hospital, where she plays third-year medical student Neela Rasgotra, who must deal with "ER" long-timers such as Dr. Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes).
		Nagra starred in the film as Jesminder Bhamra, a determined girl who yearns to play soccer despite the disapproval of her traditional Sikh family.
		After making what was obviously a big impression, Nagra "went back to England and sorted out my situation back home." She quickly returned to Los Angeles, rented a house with a small garden ("that's important to me") and set about working.

		Nagra and her Beckham co-star Keira Knightley plunged into a two-month coaching intensive, specialising in Brazilian-style tricks, wearing out the lawn practising.
		Last year, Nagra found herself elevated to Fifa's 'Football Personality of the Year', whisked by private jet to Madrid for a ceremony where she says, 'All I could see as I walked across the stage was Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane, all these huge guys staring at me thinking, "Who the heck is she?"'
		Watching her talking easily in Punjabi with drivers, market traders and fans, it clearly hasn't taken long for Nagra to adjust to Indian life, though it's a shock when she purchases one of the country's numerous filmi glossies and finds a page spread on her staring back from its pages.

		Parminder Nagra had never kicked a soccer ball before starring as a soccer-crazed teen in Bend It Like Beckham.
		For Parminder Nagra, one of the big perks of playing 17-year-old Jess, a girl torn between her traditional Punjabi upbringing and her dream of playing soccer, was the chance to canoodle with Irish heartthrob Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (Velvet Goldmine), who plays her coach and love interest.
		Unlike the deeply traditional parents in the movie who are against their daughter pursuing an unusual path, Nagra's family was supportive.

		NAGRA: I guess in England and Europe and everywhere across the world it's known as a male-dominated sport.
		NAGRA: I used to be very athletic at school and kind of keep generally fit although I haven't done so for a long while at the moment.
		In terms of the frustration of my character, I suppose any teenager has probably gone through that, in terms of telling their parents, I want to do one thing, and their parent says no. I think parents sometimes forget that they were children.

		Nagra, 27, is the star of "Bend It Like Beckham", a British film, new to America, that has gained legions of fans from England to Germany to India since its release last year.
		The plot: A British teen of Indian descent is torn between her love for soccer and her family's desire to turn her into a proper Indian woman.
		"Parminder" means "supreme goddess." Every Sikh girl has Kaur as her middle name, and "Kaur" means "princess." Then you've got Nagra, and the "Nag" of "Nagra" is actually "snake." So it's "Supreme Goddess, Princess of Snakes." It's quite cool!

	SPLICEDwire \| "Bend It Like Beckham" review (2003) Gurinder Chadha, Parminder K. Nagra
		Between the time Jess starts sneaking out to practice (dressing in street clothes but hiding her gym bag in the bushes in front of her parents' house) and the time The Big Game coincides with her sister's wedding (oh, what will she do?) there are many trifling but engaging plot developments.
		The attraction between Rhys-Meyers and Nagra is contrived and unconvincing, and the film has other problems too -- most notably, the zippy soccer game scenes are all fancy-footwork and rock-music montage sequences which inadvertently trumpet the implication that these actresses can't really play.
		But Nagra and Knightly are irresistibly charming, and writer-director Gurinder Chadha ("What's Cooking?") knows how to rally an audience behind them with endearing comedy and an earnest message of feminine empowerment.

		Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Jonathan Rhys-Meyer, Anupam Kher, Archie Panjabi, Shaznay Lewis, Frank Harper, Juliet Stevenson
		Both Nagra and Bollywood actor Kher generate a genuine rapport from an otherwise patchy script--helped no doubt by having the better-written parts.
		That writer/director Chadha based their relationship on her own life speaks volumes for the old rule of thumb that it's better to write about what you know.
