TRIVIA:

Her parents emigrated from India to the UK in the '60s.
On 11 July 2007 she was awarded an Honorary DLitt (Doctor of Letters) from Leicester University. Leicester is her home town.
Born the same day and year as 'Kate Winslet' (qv).
Her father is a bookkeeper and her mother works in a factory.
In _Bend It Like Beckham (2002)_ (qv), her character Jess' scar was actually not part of the original script. It was added in based on a real scar Nagra has on her leg. Her pants caught fire when she was young, she was placed in a tub of water so the fabric stuck to the skin. When the fabric was removed it pulled a great deal of skin with it, causing the scarring.
A portrait of Nagra painted by Stuart Pearson Wright hangs in London's National Portrait Gallery.
Her breakthrough crossover role in America and the United Kingdom was _Bend It Like Beckham (2002)_ (qv), which was a big box-office hit.
She speaks fluent Punjabi.
