The 54-year-old TV star is most famous for playing Zainab Masood in BBC soap EastEnders from 2007 until 2013 and appearing in iconic BBC sketch show Goodness Gracious Me from 1998 until 2015. She was also a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 where she was paired with Neil Jones - but faced the indignity of being the first pair to be voted off the show that year. The star has been married to composer Raiomond Mirza since 1998 and together they share a 16-year-old son named Aidan and a 19-year-old daughter named Tia. But it seems when her son was arriving into the world, an overzealous fan was almost there for the birth too. Nina has explained that she had to refuse someone a photo as she was being rushed to medics while in labour. And hitting out at the moment, the star said it was 'unusual' that the fan didn't consider how inappropriate they were being. She told the Daily Star: 'The strangest place I've been recognised was when I was giving birth. They asked for a selfie. It was really odd timing. It was a slightly strange sensation. "It was a very unusual time to ask. It's not a good thing to happen when you're mid-delivery!' Earlier this year, Nina explained that she developed anxiety-induced insomnia when she first had her children. She explained that during her worst bouts of the condition, she would end up grabbing only two hours sleep per night. She said: "I wish somebody had told me when I decided to have a family that I'd never sleep again. The night is where my anxiety lies because I'm a worrier. If an issue or a problem is upsetting me, I will not sleep until I find a solution and a lot of times, that solution doesn't exist. "First,){kind=link}
