Actor-comedian Vir Das expressed his honour to represent India at the International Emmy Awards 2021 held at the Casa Cipriani in New York City on Monday night.

Vir’s standup ‘Vir Das: For India’ got nominated in the Best Comedy category alongside the likes of ‘Call My Agent Season 4’, ‘Motherland Christmas Special’ and ‘Promesas De Campana’.
‘Call My Agent Season 4’, set among agents at a Paris talent rep firm, took the prize for comedy.

Nevertheless, Vir was delighted to receive a medal for nomination and enjoyed his delicious salad.
Taking to his Instagram handle on Monday, he shared pictures of his medal and meal, along with an interesting caption.

He wrote, “I was nominated for best comedy at the International Emmy Awards, for jokes. Call My Agent, a gigantic beautiful show I love won. But I got this medal, and ate this fantastic salad with a very interesting crispy cheese topping. It was an honour to represent my country. Thanks so much to the @iemmys For India. It’s always for India. #VirDasForIndia.”
