Re: Where's she from?

I know I just watched Yasmin last night and thought she did a really good Yorkshire accent but was convinced after Bend It Like Beckham that she was from London - anyone know?

Re: Where's she from?

yeah shes from london. she grew up in north/north west london.

Re: Where's she from?

Absolutely beautiful,i watched A VERY SOCIAL SECRETARY last night and could not keep my eyes off her! Didn't know she was the yasmin in YASMIN,will definitely watch out for that if it's repeated,and shes in CONSTANT GARDENER too!

Re: Where's she from?

is she a pakistani? cos if she is why did they cast her as a mixed race half/white half/pakistani girl :S

Re: Where's she from?

I don't think she's from Pakistan. I went to a screening of 'Yasmin' a couple of years ago when it was at the London Film Festival. Archie was in the audience and she gave a talk at the end of the screening. During the talk she mentioned that she was Indian. Not by nationality but by descent. She's a British National.

Re: Where's she from?

I think she's tremendous. I loved her character in BILB, but she really amazed me in Constant Gardener. Such range!

Re: Where's she from?

I briefly saw her in Code46. She spoke in a lovely Hindi accent ^^

But i'm sure her native accent is London British.

Greediness fails the world. No taking things for granted. Appreciate what you have.

Re: Where's she from?

to the OP, since when did cockney and scottish become related? you assume that becuase she can do a cockney accent, she might be scottish. explain

Re: Where's she from?

Her name is Archana Punjabi.

Archana is a common Indian name.

Re: Where's she from?

my point was that cockney and scottoish are not 5b4 related in the least, nowhere near each other so never mind if she was brought up in scotland, it doesn't merit her a cockney accent

Re: Where's she from?

Re: Where's she from?

i got that part clearly a while ago. however, you related being brought up in scotland with the ability to do a cockney accent. still not sure about the connection

Re: Where's she from?

no, do you? do you not know the difference between scotland and the east end? i'll ask again. this is what you wrote first

'So, if she can do a Cockney accent - like she did in BILT, what is her native accent? Is it Scottish?'

and i asked, what has having a native scottish accent got to do with a cockney accent? how did you get to that conclusion? newcastle, liverpool, leeds, manchester maybe. but cockney? it just doesn't relate at all. thats why i'm asking you how you thought that being native scots merited a good cockney accent. obviously as an actress, it would be an asset. but to associate cockney with scottish is strange in order to relate to how easily she would be able to switch from scottish to cockney, especially if it were her native accent. i'm asking how you thought of that

Re: Where's she from?

yes you did. you implied that becuase her native accent could be scottish, it merited having a cockney accent. i'll provide that insinuation again which led to me asking the same question

'So, if she can do a Cockney accent - like she did in BILT, what is her native accent? Is it Scottish?'

how did you get from cockney to scottish?

Re: Where's she from?

cheers! stop taking it so seriously, i was asking a simple question of which you can't even answer properly. did you ever stop to think of that possibility? obviously not, it takes a stranger to point out that simple fact about an actor. why don't YOU grow up ::)

Re: Where's she from?

This post is too funny. You guys are going on like some comedy skit. Reverend you were not very clear when you phrased your question because you said "if she can do cockney, is she scottish", leading the other guy to think you meant it was a causality like she had to be cockney in order to do the scottish accent. However, it seems that you meant that if she could imitate a cockney accent, was she also imitating the scottish accent in the movie you watched her in or was that her true accent.

Now you guys can be friends.
