Series
category

bringing
global

to
the
Indian
adaptation
of
the

of
the
same

crime
thriller
is

In

thrilled
by
the
nomination,
said,
‘It’s
just
been
brought
to
my
attention
that
our
Indian
adaption
of

The
Night
Manager
has
been
nominated
for
an
international
Emmy.
I
remember
when
the
offer
came
in,
I
was
conflicted.

‘It
offered
me
the
opportunity
to
play
a
character
so
complex
but
on
the
other
hand,
the
huge
responsibility
of
trying
to
add
a
newness
and
an
authenticity
to
a
part
that
had
been
played
so
masterfully
by
Hugh
Laurie.
This
validation
from
the
Emmys
in
addition
to
the
tremendous
love
that
we
have
received
from
fans
worldwide
is
a
worthy
reminder
that
hard
work
always
pays.
I
am
ecstatic
and
hungrier
then
ever
before
for
what’s
to
come.’
