Shefali Shah will be representing India along with Vir Das and Jim Sarbh at the 2023 International Emmy Awards. She has been nominated in the category of Best Performance by an Actress for her web series, Delhi Crime 2. The first season of the show won an International Emmy in 2020. The actress has come a long way in her illustrious career spanning over 2 decades.
Shefali, who has always been an impactful performer, didn`t begin her career with lead roles. After playing character and supporting roles in the initial stages, she gained popularity with films like Satya. In fact, Shefali also played mom to Akshay Kumar in Waqt: Race Against Time. Reacting to the same, she said in a recent interview with Times Of India, "If the actors are choosing to play these roles, who are we to comment? Nobody is putting a gun to anyone’s head and forcing them to act with XYZ whatever the age gap. I have never had a problem playing a mother or a supporting role as long as it’s a full-fledged character. My issue is why define a character merely on the basis of his or her relationship with the leads? In the past, I have played mother to a person much older than me. But at this point, I want to say, listen, I don’t want to look younger than my age. I do have children who are 18 and 19, so I am comfortable playing a character like that. But I don’t want to play a mother to 25, 30, or 40-year-olds anymore."
