Pragya Nagra Shares Her Diwali Joy in Traditional Style

Actress Pragya Nagra shared a lovely post on Instagram to wish her fans a happy Diwali. In the picture, she is seen dressed in a beautiful traditional dress. Her caption read, “Happy Diwali to all you lovely people. On a mission to handle my Payasam addiction.”

Pragya looked graceful in a maroon and gold lehenga from Zenora Official, which gave her a royal and festive look. Her makeup and hair were done by Ratna Makeup Artist, who highlighted her natural features with subtle makeup. She completed her look with elegant jewellery from MS Pink Panther Jewel, which added a perfect touch of tradition to her festive dress. The picture was captured by Abhilash Rangi, whose photography brought out the festive colours and details of her outfit beautifully.

In her caption, Pragya mentioned that she was “on a mission to handle her Payasam addiction,” which showed her fun and relatable side. Payasam, a sweet dish enjoyed during South Indian festivals, is clearly one of her festive favourites.

Pragya Nagra comes from a Punjabi family and did her schooling and college in Delhi. Her father served in the Indian Armed Forces, and during his posting in Chennai, Pragya developed a close connection with the city. While studying engineering in Delhi, she grew interested in modelling and went on to feature in more than 100 commercials before entering the film industry.

She made her acting debut in the Tamil movie “Varalaru Mukkiyam” alongside actor Jiiva. Although the film received mixed reviews, Pragya’s performance was appreciated, and she gained recognition for her screen presence. Later, she appeared in the Malayalam film “Nadikalil Sundari Yamuna”, where she played a Kannada girl in a socio-political drama.

Pragya has often shared in interviews that she was once part of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and had dreams of joining the armed forces. However, her passion for acting made her choose the film industry instead.
