Nagma converted to Christianity

The actress, who ruled the roost in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films from 1993 to 1997, revealed about the transformation in her life while speaking at a prayer meeting for film artistes organised in Chennai by Jesus Redeems’ ministries founder Bro Mohan C Lazarus. At the meeting, she is said to have told the gathering that she is ready to preach the Gospel in every city and town that the Lord takes her to. According to reports, the actress shared her testimony and wowed the audience with her knowledge of the Bible at the meeting. Nagma told the gathering that Jesus Christ was the only super star in her life. Earlier, she made a reference to her acting career where she had paired as the leading lady with several actors in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Bhojpuri films. The actress, who dabbled in politics briefly, said a copy of the Bible that she got when she was depressed and contemplating suicide saved her from killing herself. All her problems, she said, started fading away one by one after she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal saviour. Nagma was born Namratha Sadhana in an ordinary Muslim family in Punjab. She debuted in a Hindi film Baaghi opposite Salman Khan. She shot to fame in south India when she was paired with Tamil superstar Rajnikant in Basha. Kadhalan, where she acted along with Prabhu Deva, was another blockbuster film. Some of her major hits in Telugu were Gharana Mogudu with Chiranjeevi in 1993, Allari Alludu with Nagarjuna and Major Chandrakanth with N T Rama Rao and Mohan Babu.
