Who Is Rama Duwaji? Democrat Nominee Zohran Mamdani's Wife Whom He Met On Hinge
Last Updated: In a previous conversation, Zohran Mamdani came across his wife Rama Duwaji for the first time on a dating application. At a time when award-winning film director Mira Nair's 33-year-old son Zohran Mamdani has been shaking up a few Americans ahead of the New York City mayor elections, it is also his personal life that has everyone's attention. When a political leader meets his partner via a dating app, it is meant to make headlines, especially connecting with the Gen-Z population. Democratic candidate for New York's mayoral elections, Zohran Mamdani, has become an internet sensation, showing that a politician's love life does not need to be scandalous all the time. While it is a known fact that the politician's wife, Rama Duwaji, the 27-year-old multimedia artist, will be the one by his side if he wins the elections, internet users have been more curious about her background and their love story for a while now. Who Is Rama Duwaji? According to the BBC, Rama Duwaji is a New York-based artist with her roots in Syria, as her work mainly explores Middle Eastern themes. They have also appeared on various news outlets as well as London's Tate Modern Museum. 'Rama isn't just my wife; she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms," Mamdani wrote in a May 12 post, announcing their wedding. Having been away from her husband's primary election campaign, Duwaji's professional work has gained her fame. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University before earning a master's degree in illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. 'Using drawn portraiture and movement, Rama examines the nuances of sisterhood and communal experiences," her professional website states. Speaking about her work, much of it is in black and white and depicts scenes from Arab culture. Speaking with Yung Mea in April this year, Duwaji shared, 'These days, I focus on making art about my experiences and the things I care about, and the community that forms from conversations about my work — both online and in person — happens organically. I make my work for people who care about the things I care about." Zohran Mamdani, Rama Duwaji's Love Story Coming to her relationship, Democratic candidate Zoran Mandani and Rama Duwaji met on the dating app Hinge. They reportedly got engaged in October 2024 and finally got married in a civil ceremony in early 2025. 'Three months ago, I married the love of my life, Rama, at the City Clerk's office. Now, right-wing trolls are trying to make this race—which should be about you—about her," Mamdani wrote on Instagram. Hailing from Syria, Duwaji currently lives in Texas with her family.

F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and others, added another Rs 2.25 - 2.50 crore net at the Indian box office on day 11. With this, the collections of F1 -The Movie stand at around Rs 51.90 crore net, a number that no one would have even imagined. The film is on course for a Rs 70 crore plus net lifetime total. It can do more and these are just conservative estimates. The India Net Collections Of F1 Are As Under F1 Collects Rs 2.40 Crore Net On 2nd Monday; To Lose IMAX Screens To Superman The Coming Friday F1 loses IMAX screens to Superman this Friday. Superman will keep the IMAX screens to itself for a good couple of weeks. That's the reason the lifetime India net estimates are at a conservative Rs 70 crore. If not for the stacked IMAX scheduling, F1 could keep getting audiences for weeks. Now, the week 3 and week 4 performance of F1 in India will be interesting to observe, when all it has is standard screens and other premium screens apart from IMAX to generate business from. Even in the standard screens, it will have to compete with a bunch of different holdover as well as new releases. F1's Word Of Mouth Is Incredibly Strong, As Suggested By The Minimal Drop In Collections Every Day Coming back to F1's 2nd Monday collections, even if the movie collected Rs 2.40 crore on its opening day, it would be considered as a good result. For it to do this on day 11, speaks volumes of the strong word of mouth that it is enjoying. It is far from exhausting its audience, yet. Brad Pitt, after a turbulent recent run at the movies, is back with a bang. F1 Is Projected To End Its Run In The USD 500 Million Vicinity F1 is projected to gross USD 500 million worldwide in its lifetime. It crossed USD 300 million globally on 2nd Monday and there's no fatigue to be seen. The competition with Jurassic World: Rebirth resulted in division of screens and interest, but the occupancies are still at an astoundingly high level. F1 In Theatres F1 plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates on F1.
