The time when Indian talent is not just going global but is also earning accolades globally is finally here. In a record-breaking streak, the Emmy Awards nominations are out and India has three super entries in the race.

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has secured a nomination in the best performance by an actor category for his Netflix movie Serious Men. 

The movie was based on a novel written by Manu Joseph. He will be competing with David Tennant (Des), Roy Nik ( for Israeli series Normali ) and with Christian Tappan of Colombia (El Robo del Siglo). 

Disney+ Hotstar series Aarya starring the beautiful Sushmita Sen has made it to the final four of the best drama series category and will be competing with Chile's El Presidente, Israel's Tehran and UK’s There She Goes.

The third feather in our cap is ace comedian and producer Vir Das, who made Vir Das: For India with Netflix and earned an Emmy nomination in the comedy segment.
