Actress Richa Chadha took to Twitter, to defend Delhi Crime’s win at the International Emmys. A few social media users are objecting to how a show, based on the horrific December 16, 2012 rape case, has been receiving applause and congratulatory messages. Richa had shared her congratulations for the cast and crew on Twitter after the show won in the Best Drama category, creating history for the country. “Congratulations to the whole cast and crew of #DelhiCrime for this huge international recognition and making India proud ! @RichieMehta @ShefaliShah_ @RasikaDugal @_AdilHussain @rajeshtailang #Samyukthasheikh heart is happy,” she wrote.Replying to her, a Twitter user wrote, “I don’t understand that how that horrific night has become pride moment for India. Such a shame to celebrate this moment. Delhi ka crime aaj congratulatory moment ban Gaya hai.
#ShameOnDelhiCrime.”Richa responded by asking him what did he do to lower the rape cases in the country. “Actual crime ko kam karne ke liye kuch kiya aapne (What have you done to lessen the actual crime)? Shame on rape culture bol na, why the show? The industry is celebrating the achievement of a show made on the subject that won big internationally. Fix reality first. Many rapes, as brutal have occurred. You can’t deny reality,” she wrote. Several users supported Richa in her defence against the Twitter user's tweet calling out 'Delhi Crime's Emmy win. Delhi Crime starred Shefali Shah in the lead as the deputy commissioner of police tasked with finding the culprits and dealing with the aftermath of the brutal crime.
