No International Emmy For Vir Das But That's OK. "It's Always For India," He Wrote
NDTV
"It was an honour to represent my country," wrote Vir Das
Vir Das did not win the International Emmy for Best Comedy but it's all good because he lost to Call My Agent! - "a gigantic, beautiful show" he loves - and also got a medal out of it not to mention a great salad. Vir, in the headlines recently for his "Two Indias" monologue in Washington - was one of three Indian nominees at the International Emmys this year. While his Netflix special Vir Das: For India didn't take the prize, "it was an honour to represent my country," the comedian wrote in an Instagram post, "It's always for India."
Vir shared a picture of the medal and citation he received as well as one of the Salas that appears to have impressed him so much. His post reads, "I was nominated for best comedy at the International Emmy Awards, for jokes. Call My Agent, a gigantic beautiful show I love won. But I got this medal, and ate this fantastic salad with a very interesting crispy cheese topping. It was an honour to represent my country. Thanks so much to the International Emmys For India. It's always for India. #VirDasForIndia."
