After the nomination of 'Made in Heaven' actor Arjun Mathur in the best performance of an actor category, Vikramaditya Motwane- directed 'Four More Shots Please!' has been nominated for the Best Comedy Series category in the international Emmy 2020. Actor Maanvi Gagroo calls it a wonderful experience that she got to be part of the series. “We couldn’t believe this has happened, and were dying to post on social media. But we wanted to confirm this first and once we got a go ahead, we went berserk,” she laughs.
Gagroo says that the news has finally sunk in and now more than anything, she is looking forward to the win. “We’re just waiting for the results. If we win it, I’ll be very happy especially because there were many - mostly men - who didn’t like the show and the reason was, ‘Arrey yeh kya hai, yeh toh fake feminism hai’ and all that nonsense. This win will shut those people who can’t appreciate something. I just want to win it for the trolls,” she says, adding that the writers of show - Devika Bhagat and Ishita Moitra - have also won at the Screenwriters Association Awards in the Best Web Series, Original Comedy category.
She admits that being nominated for such coveted awards is in itself a big deal. She believes that after such recognition, one is taken seriously. “International recognition does matter a lot here (in India). And only when we get some, people start taking you (more) seriously. So, such things do help. But I think in our case, it might not be that drastic. We (her co-stars from the series Sayani Gupta, Bani J and Kirti Kulhari) all have been doing a lot of work here, and the show has already been loved. So, that jump may not be visible in our case,” says Gagroo, also known for web shows 'Tripling and Pitchers'.
