Quotes
Mira Nair
Filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani
“I really wanted Zohran in it. I literally offered him the role of the suitable boy - the main role in A Suitable Boy. And again, like with many of my things, if I need an actor to read opposite an actress or something, and if he’s home, he’s always been willing. But for A Suitable Boy — I really wanted him to play that role. And he didn’t.”

“He said, 'A lot of people die to be offered these things, but I don’t.' He was the most reluctant actor. He never wanted it, and I had to accept that. And I was also grateful, because he knew he didn’t need it — that need people have to be an actor — he didn’t have that. But he’s got the goods. I always saw the charisma and the ability he has to actually make joy — to connect with people on a very direct and unfettered level. I’ve always loved that.”
