'The juggle is real'
follows three female doctors returning to post-pandemic frontline medicine after maternity leave as they struggle to balance their new responsibilities. Nagra knows a thing about the pressures of juggling motherhood against a demanding career.Nagra opens up about the struggle, letting go of parental guilt and what it’s been like to finally secure a lead role that has nothing to do with her ethnicity.
My feeling is that at the end of the day, the commonality that they have is: yes, they have careers, and they’re working mums but also they’re mums at the heart of it. Regardless of how different their experiences are. Once you have a child, your priority becomes that child. Then there’s a moment where you’re like, ‘But I do want to go to work.’
You need that, you know, your sense of self and I definitely think in the last year, when I went on that set, I thought: ‘Oh my God, I love doing this. I love being on set. I love working with these people.’ Just being Parminder as opposed to being Mum, and wearing those different hats. I just don’t think that’s where their relationship is. I just think that they’re best buds, and he really gets her. He’s like, ‘Dude, you’re really going to start stressing yourself out.’The tone in the whole room just went: whoosh. Don’t mess with Parminder.
The pressures on a parent of having to juggle all those things. It’s not like you just close the door and leave that behind. There’s a whole other life that you’re trying to juggle and sort out, and a million lists that you’re having to make, aside from what you’re having to do for work. Did the fact that your character is based off of real-life person give you a different perspective of the NHS and how did that impact the way you played Maryam?
