Richie Mehta’s Delhi Crime, starring Shefali Shah in the lead role and streaming on Netflix, just became the first Hindi-language show to win an International Emmy.
The show, which is based on the horrific 2012 Delhi gangrape, won the award for the Best Drama Series. Other nominees in the category included The Bronze Garden (Argentina), Charité (Germany), and Criminal: UK (United Kingdom).
Naturally, Twitter was quick to applaud the entire Delhi Crime team for the win:
Incredible shows deserve incredible victories. And why haven’t we declared Shefali Shah a national treasure yet? #DelhiCrime https://t.co/TOC4X9zl6v

What a win for #DelhiCrime at the @iemmys..so glad that the popularity of film/series didn’t take home the award but the deserving did.Had it been happening here,some other popular series would have taken most awards. Its time we change that aspect and make the deserving winners!
