Nathalia Pinheiro Felipe Martins (born 15 August 1993), better known as Nathalia Kaur,[1] is a Brazilian model and actress who works in Indian cinema.[2]
Early life
Kaur was born as Nathalia Pinheiro Felipe Martins in Rio de Janeiro, 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][3][4]
Career
Kaur modelled in Brazil and other countries until moving to India upon receiving an offer. There she won the Kingfisher Calendar Model Hunt in 2012 and appeared in the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar that year.[5]
Kaur made her film debut in the Kannada film Dev Son of Mudde Gowda directed by Indrajit Lankesh.[6] Before its release she was cast by Ram Gopal Varma to perform an item number in his next film Department.[7] Earlier Varma had wanted to cast Sunny Leone, but due to her contractual obligations for Jism 2, Varma replaced her with Kaur.[8][9]
Kaur played her first role as Hema in the 2020 film Guns of Banaras.[10][11]
