India might not have won a trophy at the International Emmy Awards but all the nominees certainly had a great time in New York, where the award ceremony was held on Monday night (Tuesday morning in India). Radhika Apte, Kubbra Sait, Anurag Kashyap, Nawazuddin Siddiqui represented team Sacred Games, which was nominated for the Best Drama Series. Netflix's Lust Stories directors Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee, also attended the mega event. India featured in five nomination categories - including Best TV Movie/Mini-Series, Best Drama, Best Documentary, Best Non-Scripted Entertainment and Best Actress in a Drama Series. We have curated the best moments from the Emmy Awards 2019, from the red carpet to the cocktail parties and everything in between. Check it out here:
Radhika Apte, who was nominated for the Best Actress in a Drama Series award for her role in Lust Stories, celebrated the big day with a drink. She wrote: "Post awards. Thank you Emmys! Drinking time." The award was won by Hungarian actress Marina Gera for her performance in Orok Tel.
When Lust Stories and Sacred Games stars converged, the results had to be awesome. Here's proof:
