Netflix India Scores Two International Emmy Nominations

Twice the drama, twice the humour! Netflix India today secured two International Emmy  nominations at the highly coveted 2023 International Emmys. The nominations include "Best Performance by an Actress" for Shefali Shah who reprised her role as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi aka Madam Sir in Season 2 of the crime-drama, Delhi Crime, and Vir Das' uproarious stand-up special, Vir Das: Landing, in the Comedy category. 

Delhi Crime Season 1 put India on the map with its historic first-ever win for the country in 2020 for "Best Drama Series" at the International Emmys ®. The crime-drama has secured a second International Emmy  nod this time around in the Best Actress category for the inimitable, Shefali Shah. Vir Das was previously recognized for his 2021 International Emmy  nomination for his Netflix special, Vir Das: For India, and made a return with Vir Das: Landing in the Comedy category this year. 

These nominations mark a significant milestone for Netflix India, reflecting the platform's dedication to producing top-tier content that entertains audiences the world over. Out of the 10 nominations received by Netflix, two have been attributed to outstanding Indian productions.

Talking about the International Emmy  nomination, actress Shefali Shah said, "I can't find the words to describe what I'm feeling. Delhi Crime is such a special project to me. While the first season of the show brought home the award in 2020, being nominated in the Best Actress category for Delhi Crime S2 is just overwhelming. This wouldn't be possible without all the lovely people who are part of our team as well as Netflix India for giving us the platform to bring this story to the world.”

Speaking about his nomination, Vir Das shares, "It’s an incredible honour. To be a comedy special from India nominated against massive TV shows from across the globe in a category like comedy. I’m just very glad to be able to represent India, Indian Comedy and Indian Stand Up. This ride has been crazy and I'm so thankful for everyone who made this happen - my hardworking team, and ofcourse, Netflix India for putting Vir Das : Landing on the map!"
