It was a moment of pure joy and pride for the entire country when the Netflix Original Delhi Crime was awarded the Best Drama Series at the International Emmy Awards 2020, the first-ever for India! Overjoyed, the cast and crew of the series from across the world came together for a virtual celebration (via Zoom, of course!). They expressed gratitude to one another and opened up in candid conversations while raising a salute to Madam-Sir Chhaya Sharma (Inspector General, NHRC), the inspiration behind the lead character, who joined in as well to celebrate with the team. 

Written and directed by Richie Mehta, the series starred Shefali Shah, Rajesh Tailang, Rasika Dugal, Adil Hussain, Vinod Sherawat, Mridul Sharma, Gopal Datt Tiwari, Gaurav Rana, Yashaswini Dayama, Jaya Bhattacharya, Anurag Arora and Sidharth Bhardwaj, among many others. This remarkable feat marks a milestone in the golden era of the indian entertainment industry.
