Trivia

In Jugando con el destino (2002), 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.
