Quotes:
"The top question I always get is, 'What was it like to kiss Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, you lucky cow!' What can I say? He was great to kiss. Good lips. It was embarrassing, actually. The first time we had that kissing scene, I actually forgot my lines, I got so lost in it. "There was silence all around me and I thought 'Why is everything so quiet?' I looked around and then said, 'Oh, it's me, isn't it?'"

Yay for a Parminder Nagra thread!

She's a really great actress and it's nice to see an Indian make it in Hollywood.

[Fair_Maiden]

I think that she is a great actress. I hope to see more from her in the future.

I agree. I'm Indian myself, and I'm proud of Parminder Nagra for making her mark on Hollywood. Not many Indians have done that, and I believe she will slowly start a new and wonderful trend. I love her on ER, her character brings a whole new level to the show.

I Parmi! She's so pretty, and a really good actress to boot. I like her a lot on ER, and I thought she was so in Bend It Like Beckham.

I'm Indian as well and it's so nice to see an Indian actress who doesn't feel compelled to only be a Bollywood actress or do the typical Indian movies. She is so great on ER and I absolutely loved her character in Bend It Like Beckham.

Yay, Parminder Nagra thread. I've only seen her in Bend it Like Beckham but she was great in it. Nice to see an Indian girl making it big

I can see why she would get lost, Jonathan is I thought they had fab chemistry and the kissing scene was a great one. I loved when they rubbed noses

Any avies?

Yupp, that scene was great. I wonder what her parents thought of it!

yeah her parents must be very supportive people. i was so jealous of her when she was kissing JRM.

[Lilac Wine]

Hey

So happy to see a Parminder thread I loved her in Bend It Like Beckham, I didn't even think I'd like it, but Parminder was so great and I love seeing her in ER

Thanks for the pics bitterswt! They're all great but I really love the last two

[BreathofJasmine]

I love that scene in the last pic. I think my fave part is when she's tugging on his zipper...don't know why but it's just too cute.

[~*bitterswt*~]

She looks so young in the pics from BILB compared to how she looks recently on ER. I wonder how old she was when BILB was made, cause I just saw the movie earlier this year.

Does anyone have any PN avs?
