Zohran Mamdani made history on Thursday by becoming New York City's 112th mayor, marking a milestone for the Democratic Party's progressive wing. The swearing-in ceremony took place at a decommissioned subway station below City Hall, where Mamdani, a democratic socialist, placed his hand on a Quran as he took his oath as the city's first Muslim mayor. His parents, Mira Nair and Mahmood Mamdani, were beaming with pride in the audience. The award-winning filmmaker Mira Nair was seen capturing the special moment on her mobile phone camera, taking a round shot of the space as Zohran delivered his speech. The internet was quick to appreciate Mira's gesture, with many users praising her filmmaking skills and comparing her to a 'desi mom' who wants to document the moment for the family. As the video of Mira capturing Zohran's speech went viral, users took to social media to express their admiration for the filmmaker's work and her parenting skills. One user joked that the family WhatsApp group must be getting a lot of updates now, while another praised Mira's filmmaking techniques, saying she was "empowering the subject" with her shot. Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, had campaigned on a promise to transform the government and bring 'new politics' to the city. In his speech, he vowed to fulfill his campaign promises and not abandon his principles for fear of being deemed radical. With his historic win, Mamdani becomes the city's first Muslim mayor. Mira Nair is a renowned filmmaker, known for her acclaimed films such as The Namesake, Salaam Bombay, and Monsoon Wedding. Her son's achievement is a testament to the family's dedication to public service and their commitment to making a positive impact in their community.
