She also admires her co-star Sunny Leone for her perseverance. I’m not ashamed to admit it even today,” she chuckles. Like most girls her age, she had a massive crush on Salman Khan. Born in Mumbai, she spent parts of her childhood in Port Blair, Delhi and Kolkata because her father’s an officer in the Indian Navy. “Being born in a Bengali family, music, dance and painting were inculcated in me right since childhood,” she says. I also love dancing.” She blames her Bengali roots for the proclivity towards music. I’d picked up bhajans, geet, ghazals, English songs, film songs and even Rabindra Sangeet and songs of Kazi Nazrul Islam (national poet of Bangladesh) from my mother. She shares, “Maybe I could’ve been a singer. She considered several vocations other than acting. She studied law for five years at the Mumbai University. Nyra actually never wanted to be an actress. The crew then got me nimbu paani so I could make it to Bangalore for the early morning shoot the next day,” she laughs. “Alcohol came to the rescue and I got drunk! I was inebriated through the shooting of the intimate scene.
She had to shoot for the scenes at night and travel the next morning to Bangalore for her Kannada film Tiger. I feared my mother would throw me out of the house.” To make matters worse, she had to deal with a hectic schedule as well. Being surrounded by the crew made me nervous. She reveals, “I was uncomfortable shooting the intimate scenes. There was a lot of bedroom action in the film and Nyra had cold feet. One of the assistant directors actually sent me a huge blueberry cheesecake and chocolate ice-cream.” I’d make them drink bitter gourd juice and demand sweets and pastries in return,” she giggles and adds, “Loads of sugar goodies were kept aside for me on the set. I would punish the assistant directors if they made me wait too long for the shots. Nyra, who has a sweet tooth, enjoyed her time on the set of ONS. She exclaims, “Gosh! What if he’s a psycho or has AIDS? What if he’s into hardcore sadomasochism or he loots me? I don’t think I can ever have a one-night stand.” She may have worked in a film called One Night Stand but she doesn’t endorse the idea. Rather she welcomes opportunities that help her tap her skills. The role entailed me to portray a spectrum of emotions,” says Nyra. “My character Simran was modern and independent. I instantly liked the idea of telling the story from a woman’s perspective on gender equality, one night stands and infidelity in marriage,” she adds.ĭirected by Jasmine D’Souza, One Night Stand (ONS) starred Rati Agnihotri’s son Tanuj Virwani along with Nyra and Sunny. But since I was already selected, I decided to hear the script. She admits to having her reservations after hearing the bold title of the movie. So the thought of being overshadowed by her never crossed my mind.” When Nyra auditioned for the part, she was finalised in just one day. She says, “Sunny and my roles were distinct.
