Emmy Award Winner Vir Das Poses With Dishwasher And Trophy To Stay Grounded, Shares Reason Behind It

Vir Das has made India proud yet again by winning his first-ever International Emmy Award in New York earlier this week. He received the top honour in the comedy category at the 51st International Emmy Awards for his Netflix special Vir Das: Landing. Following the win, the actor-comedian has been sharing some special pictures from the big night on social media, much to the delight of his fans. Back in India, Vir Das has dropped a set of ten pictures that capture the essence of the big win and the celebration that followed. Attached to each of the pictures is a note by the multi-hyphenate.

The first video features the winning moment along with Vir's note that says: “We were told there was a tie and two envelopes. Then he's announcing the thing. And someone screams ‘Virrr!' which is the first time I thought I might be one. Two seconds later I was. Whoever screamed, this is your fault.”

The second image has Vir Das gazing adoringly at his trophy while seated at a table. “I hadn't set the thing down for two hours. Which means I hadn't really even looked at it. Got back to the suite. There was this presidential desk in the office. Took a second,” Vir Das explained.
