Shefali Shah has headlined two seasons of the crime drama
One assumed that Shefali Shah would’ve scheduled a party after hearing of her International Emmy nomination in the Best Actress category. But when we call the actor, she says a party is not in order. Instead, she intends to sink into her couch and read a book. “For me, any kind of achievement is short-lived. Within minutes, I was back to reality,” she smiles. Reality is sweet when you’ve been recognised globally for a compelling performance in the second season of Delhi Crime. “The fact that I’m nominated is an honour. My mind doesn’t go to the [possibility of a] win. I don’t want to take away from today for something I may or may not have.”
In 2020, the opening season of Delhi Crime was adjudged the Best Drama Series at the International Emmys. Three years on, Shah views her nomination as her character Vartika’s moment. “She isn’t a caricature of a cop. Delhi Crime highlights pressing social issues. [I remember] I slept till 2 pm the day the second season dropped. Since the first season had [attained] so much success, I was scared. But when I woke up that afternoon, I cried with joy [on seeing the reviews].”
