Salman Rushdie supposedly was attacked in New York tonight... don't know why?
Met him along with Mira Nair, Steven Spielberg, Poorna Jaganathan at the New York Film Festival in 2016 where my film Nachomia Kumpasar opened the film festival. Hansal Mehta's film was the closing one. We had dinner together where he mentioned that he knew about Chic Chocolate, a character in the film & other Jazz musicians of that era in the film. The Indian Ambassador was there too. A brilliant mind that gave some characteristic insights of Mumbai that had died so to speak accordingly to him I just hope the creative writer complacency doesn't breed - in to stymie the written word but hope & pray that it sets free from legal, social & political restrictions
