flixster.actor.pane.162662252 - flixsterParminder Nagra mini-bio: Nagra was born to Sikh parents who immigrated to England from the Punjab region of northern India in the late 1960s. At the age of seven, Nagra suffered a burn that resulted in the scar on her right leg shown in her 2002 breakout role in the internationally acclaimed film Bend It Like Beckham. Nagra attended Northfield House Primary School in Leicester. And it was at her comprehensive school, Soar Valley College, where she played viola in the youth orchestra and also appeared in her first theatrical productions.

Not long after wrapping up shooting on Bend It, Nagra appeared in another motion picture, Miramax’s fairy tale Ella Enchanted starring Anne Hathaway and co-starring Minnie Driver, Vivica A. Fox and Cary Elwes, where she was cast in the part of Areida, friend to Hathaway's title character Ella. In addition, Nagra took on two notable television roles for Channel 4—as Viola/Cesario in a multicultural version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, and as Heere Sharma in the two-part Anglo-Indian drama Second Generation, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon Sen and was loosely based on the Bard’s King Lear and starred Bollywood legend Om Puri.
