@ Ktin:
Indian American is simply a Wikipedia article and does not preclude the standards defined by Wikipedia:Manual of Style. In this particular case, MOS:Ethnicity is clear on ethnicity vs nationality in the lead:
…this will be the country, region, or territory, where the person is currently a citizen, national, or permanent resident; or, if the person is notable mainly for past events, where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident when the person became notable.
Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability.
Due to Mehta’s work while both an Indian citizen and as an American citizen, it is both appropriate and important to list both nationalities (Indian and American) as I did. In fact the MOS lists a specific example for this case:
Peter Lorre (June 26, 1904 – March 23, 1964) was a Hungarian and American actor
This is an example of a person who established a career in Europe as a Hungarian, then emigrated to the United States and was naturalized and continued his career, and is thus known as both a Hungarian actor and as an American actor. The use of and again prevents the introduction of ethnicity or birth.
Lastly, it is indeed possible for both to be true, as citizenship can be either dual or concurrent.

Lastly, it is indeed possible for both to be true, as citizenship can be either dual or concurrent— you are missing a key point that India does not allow for dual citizenship. So, if you’d prefer it can be Indian-born American, or simply Indian American as all other articles are. E.g., Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella. Cheers. Ktin ( talk) 07:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
