Vir took home the International Emmy award for his show ‘Landing” in 2023. The actor-comedian was previously nominated for an Emmy in 2021 for his special Vir Das: For India. However, he came back with a trophy only in 2023, when he won for his Netflix special Landing. In addition to performing stand-up, Vir has developed, produced, and featured in multiple television shows, including Jestination Unknown on Amazon, Hasmukh on Netflix and Whiskey Cavalier on ABC.
Vir was recently seen in “Call Me Bae”, where he was seen playing an over-confident journalist for a news channel.
