He reminisced, “For many years now, I’ve been working closely with Mira Nair as her creative and producing partner. She lived in Delhi and used to have her home in Vasant Vihar, which also became my home whenever I visited frequently. So, it was very emotional for Mira and me when she had to sell the house to a builder so it could go under redevelopment for a high-rise building to replace the two-storeyed house.” He further added, “I was in Delhi for some meetings in early 2019 and visited the house as it was getting packed up, and as I saw all my favorite paintings and photographs get removed from the walls by the movers and packers, I got the idea of having Arpita and my story of familial ties be placed against the backdrop of a home being sold and getting packed up over the next four days.” Read all the  Latest News ,  Trending News ,  Cricket News ,  Bollywood News , India News  and  Entertainment News  here.
