believe it. Feel so so honoured to be nominated at the International Emmys
alongside such esteemed artists. This one is really special and more so because
it is for a character I am very very close to Vartika Chaturvedi and for my
favourite show #DelhiCrime2. This is for all of us in #DelhiCrime.”
Vir Das shared a post on Instagram and wrote, “WHAT!!!!!! I got
nominated for an Emmy award for best comedy my second iEmmy nomination. To
everyone who worked on this show Vir Das Landing, I am SO proud of you, and so
grateful to @netflix_in for letting me tell my story. Off we go! #VirDasLanding
@iemmys well…this is a weird full circle.”
Jim Sarbh wrote, “I was having quite a weird few days, and then all
the pieces wrapped up neatly and I heaved a huge sigh of relief, played a game
of sweaty basketball, cycled home in the cold sweet rain, went in for a shower,
and came out to all these messages and calls. I was an hour late to watch Dirty
Harry with a neighbour, so I ran up, told him about the nom, and then we
proceeded to watch the movie. ‘Do you feel lucky, punk?’ Yes. Honoured to be nominated
for the International @iemmys amongst such talented artists. I loved playing
Dr. Bhabha. Rocket Boys is deeply etched in my mind and heart. @pannuabhay
@nikkhiladvani Big love to everyone who helped create the show.”
