From day one, we knew that we were creating something special with The Night Manager but for it to receive so much love and recognition across the country, and the world was not something any of us had imagined. This is such a big moment for us all! 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.”

This show has been a labour of love for all of us. 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 honour 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!”
