Parminder Nagra Does Her First NUDE Scene

Indian-origin actress Parminder Nagra, who shot to fame with Bend it like Beckham, recently filmed her first nude scene, which she said will create a fuss as she is an Asian.

Nagra shot the scene with Emmy Award winning actor Ray Winstone for her upcoming TV film Compulsion.

"I always said I'd never do a nude scene but now I have. I know there will be a huge fuss when Compulsion comes out. It's partly because of the fact I'm Asian. People don't expect me to do that. I never expected myself to do that," Nagra said.

"My mum will probably disapprove but I'll deal with that. I'm old enough now to make decisions like this," said Nagra who played the lead role in Bend it like Beckham starring Keira Knightley and Jonathan Rhyes Meyers.

Compulsion revolves around Nagra's character Anjika Indrani who takes her employee Don Flowers' (Ray Winstone) help to escape an arranged marriage. However during the process, things go topsy turvy when Anjika and Don hopelessly fall in love. The film is slated to air on ITV1 on May 4.

Born in Leicester, Nagra is said to be UK's first Indian actress to make it big in Hollywood, landing the lead role of surgeon Neela in US medical drama, ER, six years ago.

Bend It Like Beckham was my breakthrough film, but for years after the only movies I was offered were about arranged marriages. Then I got onto ER and things changed," said the 31-year actress.
