This is a guest post from Beth Holland of EdTechTeacher.org, an advertiser on this blog.

The film was also written by Deepa Mehta.[5] The film is set in the year 1938, when India was still under British rule. Shakuntala (Seema Biswas) is perhaps the most enigmatic of the widows. Her plan is disrupted when Chuyia, in her innocence, inadvertently blurts about the secret affair with Narayan while massaging Madhumati one evening.
