Emmy 2024: Surprising fashion choices by Vir Das

Vir Das made waves recently with a bold yet refreshing fashion choice. Instead of opting for a high-end designer, the actor rocked a trendy outfit from Salooka, an independent brand by Delhi-based Shubhangi Bajpai. The kicker? He paired it with his trusted old sneakers because he was “nervous” – proving stage fright lingers even for the stars.
