Shefali Shah shared her reaction on Instagram, “I still can’t believe it. I feel so honoured to be nominated at the International Emmys alongside such esteemed artistes. This one is really special and moreso because it is for a character I am very very close to, Vartika Chaturvedi, and for my favourite show #DelhiCrime2.”

Vir Das also shared a post on Instagram, “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.” 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 nomination, and then we proceeded to watch the movie. Honoured to be nominated…I loved playing Dr Bhabha. Rocket Boys is deeply etched in my mind and heart.”

Earlier, it was announced that producer Ektaa R Kapoor would be felicitated with the Directorate Award at the upcoming International Emmy Awards ceremony. The special award will be given to Ektaa on November 20 in New York.
