“I can’t find the words to describe what I’m feeling,” said Shefai Shah in a statement. “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 Season 2 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.”
“It’s an incredible honour,” Vir Das said. “To be a comedy special from India nominated against massive TV shows from across the globe in a category like comedy, feels great. I’m just very glad to be able to represent India, Indian comedy and Indian stand up.”
