Vir has reason to rejoice. His Netflix Special Vir Das: For India has just landed a biggie — an International Emmy nomination in the Best Comedy segment.
Aired on the streaming platform early last year, For India had Vir going back to his roots, evoking nostalgia with the likes of Chyawanprash, Parle-G, Old Monk and Tinkle comics. But in what is his most political piece yet, he also navigated the tricky terrain of Indian politics, touching upon everything from right-wing nationalism to Section 377 to Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi.
