    "It was picked for me." So much resonated.

    The reason for the success of Mira Nair as a versatile movie maker are many .
    She made and makes movies of Asian Themed stories , multi cultural , of multi religion and ethnic influences because her base was in the US of A . Had she tried to do any of her movies , starting from Salaam Bombay from India her movies would never see the light .May I explain?
    2. Her earlier movies was first viewed in Western countries , where people who are open to multi cultural and are multi ethnic wanted to have a *slice of culture NOT more* . The operational word being " slice " . Most of these audiences were immigrants from the upper class who yearned for nostalgia and a fraction of westerners who wanted more culture !
    3. Her movies found recognition where hardly no one was making them of the same kind per se , Salaam Bombay was a complete slice of poverty shown to the west - This was a first glimpse that complete movies were shot in English and viewed in the West . *They were not shown in theatres in India* . Such poverty themed movies found recognition , applause and awards . Telling a story in color is an art and a *story of poverty always catch attention* .
    4. As her skills of story telling telling sharpened , and the focus was sharpened , the changing global situation when corporations began to move cross countries for back operations *her movies became a study of " understanding. Culture " for many* ! After all many customer service reps were now from India .
    5. Mira Nair can boldly explore a Mulim theme story and nobody will hurl a stone at her because she can leverage the fact that *her husband has an Islamic* name . Thus *her cover is strong* otherwise the Muslim authorities can call a fatwa for any reason and she is covered by the fact that she has a US citizenship which is like having a shield . A strong cover that people who are born here takes it for granted. That goes for Mohid Hasin too otherwise the author would dare not write this story !
    6. Her scriptwriter Soni Taraporewalla from Bombay has been with her from her first movie . Is she still with her ? This scriptwriter deserves a fair share of recognition and applause . It is *Sonis script what helps transform the movie* to what it is along with the art, visuals and direction!
    7.Was Mira Nair working out of India on these movies her thoughts of making a movie would only remain in her thoughts . Bollywood is run by a handful , reigned by nepotism, those who make their careers have godfathers and an iron door policy keeps everybody out.
    . *Where nepotism rules Mira Nair's imaginations would not take wings*
    Here is an instance : Amir khan blatantly stole the story of 3 idiots from Chetan Bhagats book and did not even recognize him nor pay him a penny . Amir Khan is an a Industry veteran and his father was in the business . *Bollywood boldly plagiarizes and boldly refutes recognition* Did not even have the courtesy of apology either !
    America is a great canvas where people who want to dance in the rain will not be scorned*
    Mira danced. In the snow to make movies and she could do that only because she was in the USA .
    Thank You US of A
    Thank You Mira Nair.

      Uh-huh?!?
      Quite a lot of your Lady Liberty soliloquy, after all.

    *Note to oneself:* The first-ever time I ever heard of Mr Rizwān "Riz" Ahmed and perhaps, even Ms Mīra Nāir.
    That's why..
    I was shocked to know that she also made ‘Kāma Sūtra®’.
    And what's with her "dictatorial-march"?
    And FINALLY.. The Google®'s auto-captions get the "love the U S of A" line.

    Since bollyhood is under control of Shiv sena fundamentalists
    to abandon Pakistani actors Mira Nair is one such individual who should work with Fawad Khan

      Fawad was supposed to be the lead in this very movie !
      Somehow, it didn’t work out and he was replaced by the equally talented Riz (if not more so). And ! he was given the news of this replacement, on his birthday !!
