Actor Namit Das, who has done some memorable roles in the web space, believes that Aarya bagging an International Emmy nomination, will catapult his career in a new direction. “It’s a big deal and it matters a lot to actors as well. The moment people will look me up, they will see my name pop up as someone who was part of an Emmy-nominated show. It does make my profile look better,” shares the 37-year-old.

Das reveals how he was the first one to receive the news of the nomination and shared it with the team. “The discovery was quite accidental. But I am happy that I was the one who broke the news to the team,” he says.

The Ghanchakkar (2013) actor also believes that an international recognition is unlike anything else. Das adds, “How much ever we live in a cocoon and create a world thinking that it is the only world, the fact remains that there is a world outside that is so big; there is so much out there. It is special that one of the shows I am part of, is being recognized.”

Das, who plays Jawahar Bishnoi, a businessman involved in illegal activities in the series, hopes that things will only get better for his career. “Second gear se third gear mein lekar aaya hai mujhe. I am sure there must be some perks that will come (post the Emmy nomination),” he says.

So is he hoping for a win? “The nomination itself is a big recognition. Having said that, if we win, it will be perfect,” he signs off.
