Nathalia Pinheiro Felipe Martins, known professionally as Nathalia Kaur,[1] or simply as Nathalia,[2] is a Brazilian model and actress who works in Indian cinema.[3]

Early life

Kaur was born as Nathalia Pinheiro Felipe Martins in Rio de Janeiro,[4] Brazil. Her mother has Portuguese ancestry, while the exact ancestry of her father is little known; in an interview, Kaur said that she is "half Punjabi", and that her father is half Indian, being her paternal grandfather of the Punjabi and her paternal grandmother of Portuguese.[1][5][6]

Career

Kaur modelled in Brazil and other countries until moving to India upon receiving an offer. In India, she took "Kaur" as a professional surname due to the difficulty of Indians to pronounce her surname.[7] There she won the Kingfisher Calendar Model Hunt in 2012 and appeared in the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar that year.[8][9]

Kaur participated and won the Miss Rio de Janeiro 2015. She went on to represent her state in Miss Brazil 2015 and placed in the Top 15.[10] She also finished in the Top 10 in the Miss Brazil World 2015.[11]

Kaur made her film debut in the Kannada film Dev Son of Mudde Gowda directed by Indrajit Lankesh.[12] Before its release she was cast by Ram Gopal Varma to perform an item number in his next film Department.[13] Earlier Varma had wanted to cast Sunny Leone, but due to her contractual obligations for Jism 2, Varma replaced her with Kaur.[14][15]

Kaur played her first acting role in Bollywood in the movie as Anna in a supporting role.[16] In 2020, Kaur played her first lead role as Hema in the film Guns of Banaras.[17][18]
