Mira Nair and Aditya Assarat
Signing on for the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative, she let it be known just what sort of young partner she wanted: “Find me a girl from Karballah!” Yet Nair chose a boy, or rather, a young man, from Thailand: Aditya Assarat, 33. “When we first met in New York,” Assarat would later recall, “Mira cooked me fish curry and we drank wine and talked about movies until 2 am. A week later, in Bangkok, I got the call from Rolex that she had chosen me as her protégé.”
