Nagpal trained and worked in the Indian theatre circuit, becoming part of the ensemble of theatre practitioners active in Mumbai. His engagement with theatre has included acting as well as adapting and translating texts into Hindi for performance, a practice that connects contemporary Indian theatre with classical and Western dramatic literature.
Nagpal has performed in productions associated with leading independent theatre groups in India. His theatre work has included adaptations of Shakespearean drama into Hindi, where he has contributed both as a performer and as a writer of the Hindi text. Such adaptations are part of a wider movement in Indian theatre to render canonical world drama in vernacular registers suited to local audiences.
In Hindi cinema, Nagpal has appeared in supporting roles in mainstream and independent productions. His screen work has typically drawn on the character-actor tradition associated with performers who move between stage and film.
Nagpal's career reflects the continuing exchange between Hindi theatre and Hindi cinema in India, where actors trained on stage frequently transition into film while remaining active in live performance. His contributions as a Hindi-language adapter of classical drama also place him within the tradition of theatre practitioners who work simultaneously as writers and actors.
