Dear all,
Bollywood, India's film making industry based in Mumbai has moved away from recreating traditional films and draws on the experience of modern day people, both those living in India and who live overseas.[u]
1. both those who live in India and who live overseas
2. both those who live in India and those who live in overseas.
Why was the 1st option wrong and second option is correct.
My thought is "common elements needs may or may not ( Those in the sentence ) be replaced" , hence those need not be repeated.
Please guide and help me to understand the topic in a better way.
Tks

While it is true that a common element need not be repeated, this is only applicable if it appears before the correlative conjunctions. Look at the below examples:-
1) Martha cooks both at home and at work.-Though might not sound correct is grammatically correct. As Parallelism is maintained between 2 prepositional phrases
A more concise construction would be to place "at" before the idiom "both----and" as in the below construction
2) Martha cooks at both home and work. -Here is the parallelism is maintained via a comparison of noun with a noun
Now coming to your example
Since those appears after both it needs to be repeated to maintain parallelism
In Option 2) both those who live in India and those who live in overseas.
Hope this helps!
