Wow. The new mayor of NYC is in fact Mira Nair’s son. As in the director of the incredible Salaam Bombay. I did not know this.
just a second. did you all know that Zohran Mamdani is MIRA NAIR'S SON? Mira "made the movie Monsoon Wedding" Nair?
all this time I have not been knowing that he is someone who *understands the value of the arts*?
(I shared a cab to Mexico City airport with her once. She's great.)
