Nagra falls for nudity
NEW YORK: 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,” said Nagra.
Compulsion revolves around Nagra’s character Anjika Indrani who takes her employee Don Flowers’ (Winstone) help to escape an arranged marriage. Things go topsy turvy when Anjika and Don fall in love.
