In Ghosh's incandescent world of human suffering and redemption you won't find more than two people in the same room at any given time . Sometimes there are three. But then the third individual is so still in her space, you hardly notice her presence beyond a shadow.
Such is the truth of Divya Dutta's character. As the benevolent nurse on night duty to look after the dying Shakespearean actor, she gives the actor's mistress Vandana (Shefali Shah) and his co-star Shabnam(Preity) quiet company as the two women talk the night away on the man they're both fascinated by.
