A Memoir and a Movie

It was truly a book-to-film affair at Newmarket's party in New York City for Devyani Saltzman's new memoir, Shooting Water (May 1). Saltzman—whose book chronicles her on-set experience during the making of Water, a controversial film about Indian widows set in the 1930s and directed by her mother, Deepa Mehta—sopped to pose with those involved with both the film and the book. Pictured (l. to r.): Indo American Council executive director Aroon Shivdasani; Deepa Mehta; Water executive producer David Hamilton; Devyani Saltzman; Newmarket Press publisher Esther Margolis; and Water star Lisa Ray.
