The web series Delhi
Crime has won the Best Drama Series award at the 48th International Emmy
Awards, held virtually this year owing to the ongoing Covid pandemic. The show
becomes the first Indian programme to win an International Emmy.
The news was
confirmed by the International
Emmy Awards on its official page on Twitter. ""The International
Emmy for Drama Series goes to 'Delhi Crime' produced by @GoldenKaravan /
@skglobalent / @NetflixIndia," tweeted @iemmys, with the tags #India!, #iemmys
and #iemmyWIN.
Writer-director
Richie Mehta's seven-episode series has Shefali Shah in the central role of DCP
Vartika Chaturvedi, and narrates the story of investigation in the aftermath of
the heinous Delhi gang-rape of December 2012.
Shefali posted a
video on her official Instagram page that shows the award being announced. As
soon as the show is declared winner in the Drama Series category, Shefali can
be heard reacting with delirious joy. Although we don't see her in the video,
she can be heard shrieking "Oh my God!" several times.
"OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
OMGGGGGGGGGGGG OMGGGGGGGGGGGG," she wrote as caption to the video.
In his acceptance
speech, writer-director Mehta thanked all the producers, the OTT platform
Netflix that streams the show, the casting crew and the cast, with a special
mention of Shefali Shah, his parents and wife, the Sundance Film Festival, and
the Delhi police team headed by "Neeraj Kumar and the amazing Chhaya
Sharma" that helped them bring the show alive.
