The Chai Queens Babli and Tejal remember a time fifteen years ago when they were younger and in love, reminiscing their love through different cups of tea that they once shared and enjoyed the warmth of together.

Culturally their love was forbidden and they had to be careful not to get caught in compromising positions. After a violent turn of events split the couple up, Babli is quickly married off by her family to a man (probably to stop any rumours circulating) and Tejal leaves without warning to start a new life away from any repercussions.

After fifteen years apart they unexpectedly meet again at a three-day and three-night wedding the couple are surprised at first. They soon realise they haven’t lost the feelings they once held for each other. Stealing moments throughout the wedding event to once again share their tea and warmth over a cup of chai.

There’s a strong rapport between the “Chai Queens” Tears were falling between them as they delivered a heartfelt love story with an abundance of compassion and warmth to match their cups of tea.

During the wedding scene the couple share plates of wedding biscuits with the audience, these were delicious, worth checking ingredients first though as I am not sure what they were made with.

I saw a couple of audience members share their tears during a couple of the emotional scenes as they were possibly moved by their love story and shared their pain and heartache.
