This wouldn't have been possible without our incredible collaborators; Banijay Asia, The Ink Factory and Disney+ Hotstar. Kudos to the entire cast and crew for this valuable recognition."

We’ve all poured our hearts into this project. To see it connect with audiences globally and now receive this prestigious recognition is deeply humbling. I’ve always believed that when you put in the hard work and passion, it speaks for itself, no matter where you're from, and this nomination is proof of that. It’s an incredible honor for all of us who believed in this project from day one. Shelly is the 140th character I have played in my 45 years as an actor, and moments like these fuel me to go for 140 more! Here’s to celebrating Indian talent on the world stage and continuing to push boundaries in the years to come!"

Sandeep, Anil Sir, Sobhita, Tilotamma, the Disney+Hotstar team and to every member of our cast and crew - this one’s for all the hard work and effort that everyone’s put in.”
