India’s international triumph doesn't settle here.

Kapoor, known for her indomitable spirit and groundbreaking contributions to the world of television, stood on the global stage, adorned with accolades that reflected her unwavering commitment to storytelling.
The Emmy Awards, traditionally dominated by Western productions, witnessed a paradigm shift as Kapoor's innovative narratives captivated the international audience. Kapoor's avant-garde approach to storytelling, characterised by intricate plots, compelling characters, and audacious themes, earned her the epithet of a "pioneer" in the television industry. To celebrate the win with her loved ones Ektaa took to Instagram saying,” India I’m bringing YOUR Emmy”.
Indeed, the prestigious Emmy statuettes, gleaming in their golden glory, found a deserving home in Kapoor's hands, underscoring her talent and vision. Her ability to seamlessly blend traditional storytelling with contemporary issues was lauded as "revolutionary" by critics and peers alike.

While the winners were celebrated, nominees Shefali Shah and Jim Sarbh surely rooted loudly for them. For the unversed, Sarbh was nominated for the ‘Best Performance by an Actor’ award because of his work on the web series Rocket Boys on SonyLIV. With Sweden's Jonas Karlsson, UK's Martin Freeman, and Argentina's Gustavo Bassani, he was the only Indian to make up to the list.
Shah's remarkable performance in the Netflix-web series Delhi Crime Season 2 earned her a nomination in the Best Performance by an Actress category. Karla Souza of Mexico, Billie Piper of the UK, and Connie Nielsen of Denmark were nominated with her in this category.
