Delhi Crime bags Best Drama Series at the International Emmy Awards 2020

The Netflix show, Delhi Crime, has won big at the 48th International Emmy Awards this year. It bagged the Best Drama Series award against Germany’s Charité 2 Season 2, UK’s Criminal UK and Argentina’s El Jardín de Bronce (The Bronze Garden) Season 2. On the other hand, another Indian show, Amazon Prime Video’s Four More Shots Please, that was nominated for the Best Comedy Series, lost out. Made In Heaven’s Arjun Mathur was nominated for the Best Actor award for the same Amazon Original, however, he too lost out against tough competitors.

Mehta, in his acceptance speech during the virtual ceremony on Monday, dedicated the honour to all the women who not just endure violence that men inflict on them, “but are also tasked to solve the problem.”

Actor Shefali Shah played Vartika Chaturvedi, whose character on “Delhi Crime” was based on former Delhi Police DCP Chaya Sharma who cracked the case of the brutal gangrape within 72 hours.

The show, released in 2019, received massive acclaim for its sensitive retelling of a horrific crime that shook the entire nation.
