Pregnant pause for Parminder Nagra as she shows off her bump on the red carpet
April 1, 2009 | by admin
A radiant Parminder Nagra showed off her growing baby bump as she joined her former ER castmates for a reunion.
The British actress is expecting her first child this summer with her husband, photographer James Stenson.
As she walked the red carpet in Hollywood, she hid her bump under a stylish asymmetrical black dress.
Parminder found fame in the film Bend It Like Beckham, which also launched the career of Keira Knightley.
After appearing in several other films, including Twelfth Night and Ella Enchanted, she won the role of Dr Neela Rasgotra in the medical drama ER, which has ended after 15 seasons.
Last night at the finale party for the hit TV show, she admitted having some strange cravings during her pregnancy.
‘I think early on I had a few cravings like frosted flakes and things like filet-of-fish, which I don’t even really eat. ‘And I craved Indian food most of all, which is probably going to drive my baby crazy – all that spiciness – but what can I say?’
She spoke of how playing Dr Rasgotra in ER had changed her life, which she realised when she watched a montage sequence from her time on the show.
She said: ‘There was a moment from when I came in with short hair and bushy eyebrows, and I was going, “Why didn’t anybody tell me at the time!” ‘I almost saw myself grow up within five minutes of that montage sequence, and that’s what it’s done for me, being here.
‘And moving from the UK and moving to the States was a huge deal, so it’s changed my life in so many ways.’
Parminder was joined by Noah Wyle and other ER cast members at the celebration.
Wyle has revealed he took some mementoes from the set to remember his time on the show.
