      I didn't get the impression she was. She talks about it quite lovingly in other interviews. i think the ppl around her at the time felt embarrased about it tho. She also said she would support a sequel cause the original script had the two leads as lesbians and she has stated she would have loved to have that.

    Title of clip is misleading. Keira never says she’s been embarrassed by Bend it like Beckham. She only said other people said the title/concept was embarrassing. I think Keira is too gracious to say something like that or even think like that.
    I would hope that Keira is very proud to have been cast in BILB - too many people that’s a cultural icon! Ranks really highly with Desi diaspora films and the theme of female empowerment in sports and standing up to one’s family’s traditional values is still relevant 20 years later. Really wish Parminder Nagra had also gotten so much break out success from that film as she is also talented, like Keira Knightly.

    she's one of those actresses that should have her "It's her moment!" time with the oscars.

    Ever since seeing her from Pirates 1-3, I'll always be a fan of her craft till the day I die! But seriously, it's quite endearing to hear her story on her kid not wanting to continue the first pirates movie lol!!!
    She's an international treasure to behold, even till this very day.

    Bend it like beckham is such a nostalgic film for 90s kids that were in their teen years. It like embodied the transition for us i hate that shes embarrassed by it

    I love Bend It Like Beckham. It’s a shame that it didn’t do much for Parminder Nagra’s career.

      Sadly she is a POC and hollywood did not cast anyone of Asian Heritage in prominent roles those days, if it was released right now she would've hailed as the next big thing hollywood

      @@അപ്പു this is correct. I think it was good for her though as it allowed to branch into American television which isn’t all that common still for actors coming for the UK
