Vir Das was on cloud nine as he received the Emmy Award for his comedy special Vir Das: Landing.

Talking about winning at the International Emmy Awards, Vir expressed his excitement and said, "I have immense gratitude, holding the International Emmy for Best Comedy for Vir Das: Landing. This one is for my team and for Netflix without whom this wouldn't have been possible. This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, and to win this accolade for my fifth special with Netflix feels like a culmination of passion, perseverance, and the undying support of people around the globe who have given so much love to Vir Das: Landing.

He added, "This award is not just a recognition of my work but a celebration of the diverse stories and voices from India. Stories that make us laugh, reflect, and, most importantly, unite. This one is for India, for Indian comedy, and for the community of artists at large."

Vir Das: Landing marks his fourth Netflix comedy special that presents a show about what it means to be truly global while looking for home. To carry your country across the world with you, whatever that country is, and to find your feet. A show about growing up in India, seeing the globe, love troubles, colossal failures, social media madness, the perils of outrage, unplanned drugs, war-zone boarding schools, metaphorical mathematical equations, the current state of comedy, getting nominated, getting intoxicated, and ultimately just getting situated.

Vir Das: Landing, which premiered on Netflix, was competing with Le Flambeau from France, El Encargado from Argentina, and Derry Girls Season 3 from the UK.

Event company’s message fuels fresh speculation

The postponement of cricketer Smriti Mandhana and singer-composer Palash Muchhal’s wedding has drawn renewed attention after the event management company overseeing the celebrations posted a cryptic message online.
Krayonz Entertainment, responsible for the high-profile ceremony, shared an Instagram note last week, shortly after festivities came to an abrupt stop. The post reads: “We don’t cross the finish line in every match of life that we play, but it’s always the sportsman spirit that counts. Our team played hard, with joy and pride, and they all certainly deserve a mention. Will see you soon champion.”
The message has gone viral, prompting mixed reactions, some praising its supportive tone, others interpreting it as a hint about the couple’s plans.

Wedding halted amid health emergencies

Mandhana and Muchhal were due to marry on 23 November, with pre-wedding functions already under way. The Mehendi and Haldi ceremonies had taken place and circulated widely on social media. However, celebrations stopped when Mandhana’s father fell critically ill on the wedding day and was admitted to hospital. The following day, Muchhal was also hospitalised in Sangli, Mandhana’s hometown, before being shifted to Mumbai.
A representative for the cricketer confirmed that the wedding had been postponed due to medical concerns affecting both families.
