Gillian Anderson: Nehru's love for Lady Mountbatten not included in new film


2017, Gillian Anderson: Nehru's love for Lady Mountbatten not included in new film amid fear it would offend Indians

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ilm-amid-fear/


The reputed love affair between Edwina Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru could not be included in a new film about Partition because it would upset the Indian government, according to Gillian Anderson.

The actress stars as Lady Mountbatten in Viceroy’s House, a sumptuous period drama set during the last days of the Raj and directed by Gurinder Chadha.

Critics have noted that the film omits mention of the relationship between the Vicereine and India’s first Prime Minister, although exchanged glances hint at an attachment.

Appearing on BBC Radio 5 Live’s film review programme, Anderson was asked if the storyline was left out for reasons of space. She replied: “I’m not sure if we would have been allowed to film in India if we told that story.”

Pushed on whether she had wanted to tell the story, Anderson said: “That’s a question for Gurinder.”

More than 50 years after his death, Nehru’s private life remains a subject of great sensitivity to the authorities in India. The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has dominated Indian politics since Partition.

A planned film about his relationship with Lady Mountbatten, Indian Summer, was shelved in 2009 when the government said it could be filmed in India only if scenes showing the couple kissing, dancing and sharing a bed be deleted. The film was due to star Cate Blanchett.

29 Mar 2013 - "Break open Nehru's heart, you will find Lady Mountbatten written on it,"

https://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/1...tinental-love/

The relationship between India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Lady Edwina Mountbatten has long been shrouded in mystery and secrecy. It’s a no-go area for the Congress which has always shielded the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty from controversies. Congressmen certainly don’t want it to become a matter of public discourse.


However, the details about their intimate relationship are now in public domain in the form of a book. Indian Summer by Alex Von Tunzelmann offers a vivid account of a special bond the couple shared and complex relationship between Edwina and her husband Louis Mountbatten with the latter playing a role of a willing facilitator of this relationship and furthermore encouraging it.

It’s true there’s no age for falling in love, for love is timeless. All you need is two lonely people, mutual admiration, understanding, and a spiritual connection.
