Ding Dong - the bells of realisation finally toll. Heh, yeah. Definitely been there. Jess might have been just a bit slower on the uptake. Hmm ... now that's a fic waiting to be written.
As for Chadha keeping it subtext, she had a ready made audience for anything she churns out if there are indian characters, and she obviously wasn't looking for a confrontation with them like Deepa Mehta had for 'Fire'. She followed the money. The Indian audience is still a couple of decades behind on this issue, and the homophobia is unremittinngly blatant in everyhing.
