Shefali Shah's earnest and honest portrayal as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi in Richie Mehta's Netflix original show Delhi Crime was appreciated by the critics and audience. Needless to say, the show created history by becoming the first Indian series to bring home an Emmy. Delhi Crime – created and directed by Richie Mehta, and fronted by her – bagged the gong for Best Drama Series at the 48th International Emmy Awards

Since then, it has been a blissful haze of congratulatory calls and messages. In an interview, Shah talked about her experience of working on the series and appreciation she is receiving. Speaking to The Times of India, the actress said, "I did not anticipate. I did not think of where it was going to go, where it was going to be released. All I knew was it is an extremely, extremely special show and I am very proud of being a part of it. Every single moment of the show is emotional and there is no other way besides feeling it. That's why I was feeling every single moment. And I remember there wasn't any single moment when I wasn't emotionally involved, invested, or consumed by it. I trusted the show. All of us believed in it, we were invested in it and we completely loved it."
