New York, Feb 1: Indian filmmaker Mira Nair, mother of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is mentioned in newly released Jeffrey Epstein files for attending an “after party” at Ghislaine Maxwell’s townhouse. The email, sent on October 21, 2009, by publicist Peggy Siegal, references Nair alongside celebrities including Bill Clinton, Jeff Bezos, Hillary Swank, and Richard Gere. The gathering followed a film screening, likely Nair’s 2009 movie Amelia, based on the life of pilot Amelia Earhart. The email notes that the film received a tepid reaction but was more popular among women. The mention comes as part of over three million additional pages of Epstein-related materials released by the US Department of Justice under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law in November 2025. The publication includes more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images from multiple investigations, covering Epstein’s criminal cases in Florida and New York, the Maxwell trial, and probes into Epstein’s death, compiled from FBI and Office of Inspector General records. Nair has not responded to requests for comment.
