The scene occurs when Shamshu feels it was the best method to silence Zulfi because he was threatening to tell the police about the women holding Hamza captive. “It’s such a sweet and delicate moment and it had to be handled that way. She does it because she wants to shut this man up because he will go and do some more nonsense now. But the way she does it took me by surprise. I think it’s a lovely moment,” she added.

For the unversed, In Darlings, the mother-daughter duo of Badru (Alia) and Shamshu (Shefali Shah) exact revenge on Badru’s abusive husband Hamza (Vijay Varma) with the reluctant assistance of Zulfi (Roshan Mathew). In the movie it is indicated that Zulfi likes Badru, but near the end it is revealed that he prefers the mother than the daughter.
