Pyar Itna Zyada Diya

Ki Woh Rone Lagi

Maansik Santulan

Apna Khone Lagi

Pehle Ganda Kiya

Phir Khud Hi Dhone Lagi

Ek Raat Mein Hi Love

Usey Hone Lagi

Maine Bola

Ek Choti Si Fight Hai

Subeh Theek 6 Baje Meri

Chandigarh Ki Flight Hai

Schedule Thoda Tight Hai

Kehti Aditya

Jhooth Bolne Ki Bhi Ek Height Hai

Kaise Bataun Life Jhoothon Se Bani

Piye Zehar Ke Jo Ghooton Se Bani

Meri Na Kisi Insaan Se Bani

Bani Toh Bas Kabristan Ke

Bhooton Se Bani

Main Kabhi Bahut Zyada Sad

Kabhi Bahut Hi Funny

Mere Goyard Ke Bag

Kaanon Mein Tiffany

Mere Aur Jeet Ke Bich

Koyi But If Ni

Ch***yon Ki Tippni Pe

Na Karun Tippni

Tere Jaisa Kahan Se

Main Aa*d Chaat’ta Hai Tu

Actress Pooja Dey spoke about playing a lesbian on-screen and about the need to make this topic common among people. She will be seen playing a lesbian in her upcoming short film, ‘Oas’, and said that it was challenging to play the role and in fact initially, she was apprehensive when this project was offered, although she had already played a lesbian before.

Pooja said: “It’s tough to play a lesbian on-screen because people judge you. Even though the content has come a long way, this topic is still a hush-hush matter in most Indian households. When I was asked to play the character of a lesbian, I was apprehensive about how my character would be perceived by the audience. So, there was nervousness until it came out. There exist some people in this society who forget about the difference between reel and real and what matters to them is to pass judgments.
