Parminder Kaur Nagra (born October 5, 1975 in Leicester, England) is a British actress of Indian descent.

Parminder Kaur Nagra was born to Sikh parents who migrated to England from the Punjab region of India in the late 1960s. Sometimes affectionately known as "Mindi", her full name means "Supreme Goddess, Princess of Snakes". Her family background was decidedly working class. The family patriarch, Sucha, a foundry worker, is believed to have separated from her mother, Nashuter, a packer in a factory, while Nagra was a child. Nagra, her two younger brothers, and a younger sister were raised in a small terrace house in the Belgrave district of Leicester by her mother and by her stepfather who worked as a bookkeeper at a cousin’s transport company.
