Mr and Mrs Bhamra find out that Jess has been playing for a football team behind their backs
The scene begins with Jess playing a game of soccer in the park, with her male friends and new team uniform on. Mrs Bhamra walks through the park and finds Jess playing, whilst one of her male friends was picking her up. Seeing this she takes Jess straight home, stands in front of the Babaji portrait and gives her a lecture on how playing is unjust.
This is a shot of Jess at the start of the scene. She is wearing shorts exposing her legs and a burn she got when she was younger.
Moments before this shot, Jess is talking with her football coach, Joe and was embarrassed to show her burn to the other girls on her team. In this shot it is commented on by one of her mates, but she doesn't care, like she did before. Instead she throws back,"At least I can still skin you with my eyes closed," referring to her footballing talent and starts dribbling the soccer ball around and kicking in between their legs.
The camera focuses on Mrs Bhamra as she comes to terms with what she is seeing in front of her. Mrs Bhamra is completely shocked at the fact:
The scene cuts to Mrs Bhamra standing in front of a portrait of Babaji, lecturing Jess on how wrong her actions were. She says, "He was putting his hands all over you bare legs, you are not a young girl anymore!" and "You were showing the word your scar!".
This clearly defines her disappointment in Jess.
The camera turns to Mr Bhamra, who explains that it is now different, now that Jess' sister is getting married because of the way people gossip in their community. This highlights that many people in Indian communities worry that people will gossip about them and what people will think of them.
Mr and Mrs Bhmara not only worry about what people will think of them with a soccer-playing daughter but how it will bring shame on the family,as it did wit Mr Bhamra's family.

- That Jess is wearing a football uniform, therefore she is most likely is a part of a football team.
- That she is wearing very short shorts that show her burn.
- That Jess is letting her male friends touch her bare legs.
