Why Vir Das Posed Next To A Dishwasher After "Big Moment" At International Emmys

Priyanka Chopra commented on the post, "Congratulations my friend"

Vir Das, on Tuesday, made history by winning his first-ever International Emmy Award. The comedian-turned-actor won an award for his Netflix special Vir Das: Landing  in the comedy category at the 51st International Emmy Awards. After his win, Vir Das shared a glimpse of his “grounding” moment, which also turned out to be his “favourite photo of the night.” No, it isn't a picture of him receiving the gleaming trophy but Vir Das posing next to a dishwasher with his award. Yes, you read that right. It turns out that Vir Das was “once a dishwasher.” Sharing details, Vir Das wrote in a text bubble on the photo, “So. Big moments need grounding. We win an Emmy. We're walking through the kitchen to the press room. We walked by the dishwasher stand. My manager Reg says, ‘You remember you were once a dishwasher, right? This is where you take a photo.' My fav photo of the night. Eyes completely closed. It ain't glam…Still my favourite photo of the night. Also who leaves a random glass out like that?” Vir Das added in the caption.

Needless to say, his many industry friends acknowledged his post and flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages.  Priyanka Chopra commented, “Congratulations my friend.” Dia Mirza wrote, “Best,” and added a tiger emoticon. Zoya Akhtar commented, “So so happy for you.” Film director Reema Sengupta wrote, “I'm not crying, you're crying.” Actor Abhishek Bhalerao wrote, “Bhai Bhai Vir Das respect.” Environmentalist and social activist Ripudaman Bevli added, “Absolutely! Grounding is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. Shine on.”
