Biography |
Laila Rouass (born June 22, 1975) is a Moroccan Indian
actress popular in the United Kingdom. She is best known for
her role as Amber Gates, on British drama, Footballers'
Wives.
She was born in London to a Moroccan father and an Indian
mother. She started her career as a VJ in Channel V in
Mumbai, India. After shifting to UK, she became famous in
the role of Bollywood actress Amber Gates in Footballers'
Wives between 2004 and 2006 and in the ITV2 spin-off drama
Footballers' Wives: Extra Time. She also acted in Family
Affairs, Hollyoaks and the final episode of I Dream. She was
ranked 87 and 69 on FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2004
and FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005 respectively.
In 2005 she starred alongside Meera Syal in the television
adaptation of Syal's novel "Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee".
In January 2007 rumours in the News of the World state that
the former Footballers Wives actress could be about to land
a big role in BBC soap EastEnders. Due to her pregnancy
bosses are said to be willing to hang on for her.
She came into news in 2005 when an Arab Sheikh apparently
offered her a million pounds for a dinner date, an offer
that she refused.
In 2005 she married businessman and owner of The Accessory
People retail chain, Nasa Khan. In October 2006, she went to
see a doctor regarding back pains, only to find she was six
months pregnant, and gave birth to a daughter, Inez, in
February 2007. She and her husband were separated for a
short period but got back together. |
