Das is crying on the bed and Azmi comes in. She goes over to hug her and tells her "Please don't cry" and that everything will be okay with Das' new husband. They pull apart for a second and their lips almost brush together. Then Das leans in and kisses Azmi on the lips.

Azmi is in bed, Das comes in and gets onto the bed and starts kissing Azmi on the neck. She tells her it's okay because nobody is here and finally Azmi starts kissing her back. At the end of the scene it's so dark that you can't really tell what's happening but I'm guessing, boom chicka wah wah.

Das and Azmi are outside playing hopscotch together and generally messing around. Azmi strokes her finger up Das' shin and then they both crouch down and kiss. Azmi's husband calls her from offscreen, Das says "Shhh" and Azmi doesn't answer him, instead she kisses Das on the wrists. Somehow this is one of the sexiest scenes I ever saw in a movie, there's nothing graphic or anything but it's absolutely gorgeous.

Azmi's husband has been clued into the fact that Azmi and Das are sleeping together, he goes and looks through the partly open door and sees Azmi kissing Das on the breast.

I love this movie! The two women are so sad and sweet together. They're both incredibly beautiful especially Shabana Azmi, who by the way is also a wonderful actress. Anyway, see it.
