I recently joined the discussion forums at the BollyWHAT? website, and I am really, really glad I did. I've already learned a pile of cool stuff, and added still more and more flicks to the growing list of Hindi films I have to see. (I know GOAT is getting some visitors from the forums, so a warm "namaste!" to all of you as well.) And I read a fantastic interview of my beloved Shabana Azmi, an interview that included this delicious, delicious tidbit, in response to a question about shooting Fire:
In fact my husband complains that I've done a kissing scene with a man in another movie and I don't look as convincing as I do with Nandita [Das], and he wants to know what that's all about.
kher!
They did have some chemistry, didn't they?
I've seen a couple more of Shabana's films since I posted the first installment of the GOAT Indian film list - I know I'm due to update that - and I remain as convinced as ever that Shabana Azmi is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Here's some more gratuitous Shabana.

vaah! I've turned into such a fangirl!
