London, Nov 28 : ‘Bend it Like Beckham’ star Parminder Nagra is expecting her first child with photographer boyfriend James Stenson, according to reports.

The 33-year-old Brit, who plays Dr. Neela Rasgotra in ‘ER’, is currently shooting the last ever season of the hit drama.

And sources claim her alleged pregnancy won''t be written into the storyline. Instead, as her tummy grows, it''ll be hidden from camera.

"Parminder is thrilled beyond belief,” the Daily Express quoted an insider, as telling the National Enquirer.

"But with the show in its last season, she doesn''t want to take anything away from the fanfare. She''s happy to be filmed standing behind counters. Viewers won''t have a clue. The big lab coats and gurneys will be hiding her belly," the insider added.

A rep for Nagra has yet to confirm the reports. (ANI)
