India Shines Bright at International Emmy Awards with Three Nominations

Following World Cup 2023 and Diwali, everyone's focus will be on the Hilton in New York. At the International Emmy Awards on November 20, two Indian actors and a stand-up comedian will compete for Best Performance and Best Comedy Series.

Filmmaker Vipul Shah exclaimed, "It's a very big moment." Wife Shefali Shah, who portrayed DCP Vartika Chaturvedi in Delhi Crimes (Season 2), is one of four international nominees for Best Performance by an Actress.Her adoring husband declared, "I want to be there for her, so I'm going to New York."

India hasn't done too badly, with three nominations, including Vir Das: Landing in the Best Comedy Series, despite the UK's dominance in every significant category.

The fact that Jim Sarbh, with his impeccable portrayal of Homi J. Bhabha, is nominated for Best Performance as Actor is another reason for excitement. He'll get support from first-time director Abhay Pannu and show creator Nikkhil Advani. Saba Azad, who portrayed Pipsi, the vivacious Parsi friend that Homi Bhabha was deeply infatuated with but was never able to propose to, said, "I'll be cheering from here."

Given his level of fame, Saba might be more well-known as Hrithik Roshan's girlfriend. However, anyone who has met her would understand that she is more complex than just her well-known boyfriend. There were applause, laughter, and a lot of surprised looks when she sang and danced on a fashion ramp. That's all, though. Saba had a long career as a musician and performer before becoming well-known as Hrithik's girlfriend. She also keeps living her own life, still singing in the band that she co-founded with Imaaduddin, the son of Naseeruddin Shah. She replied, "Almost every weekend," when I asked if she was still working gigs.

Saba had aced the auditions for her break in Rocket Boys, a role that demanded not singing prowess but the refinement of an upper-class Parsi. She also chose Songs of Paradise as her role out of all the musical roles that were offered to her. She quickly warmed up to the role, which was modeled after Padma Shri Raj Begum, the first female musician from Kashmir who overcome gender stereotypes specific to the area.

Even though Saba is as Punjabi as anyone with the name Saba Singh Grewal, her glowing complexion gives the impression that she is from Kashmir. Despite her small waist, she is a robust Amritsari.

She was seen eating, according to her Rocket Boys director.

"I'm a pig," Saba exclaimed with joy. How then does she have the waistline of that teenager? "I exercise a lot."

She and the Greek God of Fitness have that in common. Hrithik had previously declared, "I even get excited thinking what's going to be served to me on a flight," how much of a foodie he was.

It extends beyond diet and exercise, of course. Speaking clearly and with a laid-back friendliness, it was evident that Saba had the upper hand over the reserved Hrithik.

To get back to Jim, he graduated from Emory University and is comfortable in the US. For the actor, who hails from a prosperous Parsi family, portraying the sophisticated Homi Bhabha felt like returning home. But Jim didn't realize that Freddie Mercury and Homi were the two major legends in his community until he played the role of the genius.

To complete the trio that represents the pride of the Parsis, add the name Tata.

Jim's résumé is unique. The terrorist in Neerja, Khalil. The Sanju drug dealer Zubin. Brian in The Gunj of Death. In Rocket Boys, Bhabha. The attorney from Norway representing Mrs. Chatterjee. Every character is based on a real person.

Jim would be thrilled if a movie about Tata—J.R.D. or Ratan—was made. Furthermore, Rami Malek, who received an Oscar for portraying Queen's lead singer in Bohemian Rhapsody, will lose the role to a professional Jim if another movie or television program is ever made about Freddie Mercury.
