Actor and comedian Vir Das is known for many things. Launching fresh talent seems to be one of them now! As he gears up to take over the 52nd International Emmy Awards, his outfit for the occasion boats no big names, but instead has been crafted by a brand new Delhi-based designer.
For the unversed, a few weeks ago, Vir Das put out a statement that he won't be wearing any big labels to the Emmy Awards. Instead, he encouraged new talent to submit their designs and promised to wear one of their outfits on the big day.
Vir Das ditches big labels for a Delhi-based designer
Cut to today, November 26, the comedian kept his promise, picking Delhi-based Shubhangi Bajpai out of the 4000 applications he received. Sharing the exciting news on his personal social media handle, he stated, "As promised. I will be wearing a brand-new designer for the Emmys. As promised, I know nothing about fashion. But she does and she worked super hard. Her name is Shubhangi Bajpai, and she is from Delhi. Happy to show you her work soon. Do keep in mind, she doesn't have much to work with here."
