In Shabd, Aishwarya Rai plays Antara, a college professor married to writer
Shaukat, played by Sanjay Dutt. One day Antara meets Yash (Zayeed Khan), a
spirited young man who is immediately drawn to Antara and makes no attempt to
hide it. When Antara mentions this to her husband he is intrigued rather then
angry and asks her to indulge the young man, hoping to use it as source material
for his book. However, increasingly the writer Shaukat wants Yash out of the
novel as much as the husband Shaukat wants him out of their lives and as fiction
and fact start to blur a dangerous game is played by all. Shabd is a gripping
and passionate psychological drama that is a must-see for all film fans.
