TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Parminder Nagra was worried that the scar on her leg would prevent her from getting the role of Jess. Instead, the scar, and the story behind it, were worked into the script.

This was the first Western film allowed to be shown in North Korea.

Beating out established players like Luis Figo and Ronaldo, Parminder Nagra won the 2002 Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA)'s International Football Personality of the Year Presidential award, and she was the first female to ever receive the honor.

Many of the wedding guests in the movie were relatives of director Gurinder Chadha, and they added realism by throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the scenes, treating the shoot as if it were a real wedding.

The chauffeur driver of the Rolls Royce in the wedding scene was not an actor, but an actual chauffeur, and was unaware he was in a film. He believed instead that it was simply a wedding with a lot of cameras. It was only discovered he was in the film when, to their surprise, one of his relatives saw him in the background.

Popular Dialogues

"Wedding Guest: Lesbian? Her birthday's in March. I thought she was a Pisces."

"Tony: Look, Jessie. You can't plan who you fall for. It just happens. I mean, look at... Posh and Becks. Jess: Well, Beckham's the best. Tony: [chuckles] Yeah! I really like Beckham too. Jess: Well of course you do. No one can cross a ball or bend it like Beckham Tony: [shakes head] No, Jess. I *really* like Beckham. Jess: What? You mean... [incredulous scoff] Jess: But you're Indian!"
