Emmy Fyc Panel Kicks Off
Poorna Jagannathan, the Indian-American actress celebrated for her roles in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever and HBO’s In Treatment, has officially launched her Emmy “For Your Consideration” campaign for Hulu’s Deli Boys. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a candid photo from the Television Academy event, thanking voters and announcing that “voting has begun so, dear members, think of us ❤️.” Captured by Disney and Getty Images, the images spotlight Jagannathan in a sharp Kent & Curwen suit, Christian Louboutin shoes and Calzedonia socks, accessorized with Mara Paris jewelry.
About Deli Boys
Deli Boys, created by Ayo Edebiri and Sheba Chhachhi for Hulu, follows two lifelong friends opening a corner shop in Brooklyn. Jagannathan stars as Razz, the quick-witted sous-chef whose culinary expertise and no-nonsense attitude anchor the comedy. The series has drawn praise for its authentic portrayal of immigrant family dynamics and New York’s food culture, earning a dedicated fan base ahead of Emmy season.
Nomination For Outstanding Supporting Actress
In her caption, Jagannathan confirmed her spot on the ballot for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She also quipped that “my mom is up for outstanding +1,” playfully referring to her date at the panel event. Her direct appeal underlines how Emmy campaigns blend personal moments with industry outreach.
Previous Emmy Voting Campaign
This isn’t Jagannathan’s first Emmy push this year. In mid-June she posted an earlier reminder that “Emmy voting opens June 12! If you are a TV Academy member, we are eligible for nomination! I hope you’ll consider Deli Boys,” linking directly to the Television Academy. That post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DKkL4rRRMMp/) served as an initial rallying cry to voters, setting the stage for her latest panel appearance.
Career Highlights
Born in Tunis in 1972 and raised across India and the United States, Jagannathan earned her journalism degree at Northwestern University before pivoting to acting. She made a memorable film debut in Casino Royale and later appeared in comedies such as Good Newwz on both sides of the globe. Her turn as therapist Gina in HBO’s In Treatment won critical acclaim for its emotional depth, while her breakout teenage role in Never Have I Ever introduced her to a new generation of viewers.
Social Media Reach
Jagannathan’s Emmy FYC post has drawn thousands of likes and supportive comments from co-stars Saagar Shaikh, Sahara Sharma and fans worldwide. Comments praised her performance as Razz and highlighted the blend of glamorous styling—courtesy of Jared Eng Studios, hair by Maurice Cornell and makeup by Aliana Lopez—with her down-to-earth charm.

Emmy Timeline And What’s Next
Voting for the Television Academy continues through early July, with nomination announcements expected mid-month. If Deli Boys secures nods in multiple categories, it will mark a major achievement for Hulu’s comedy slate and underscore Jagannathan’s versatility as both a dramatic and comedic performer.
As ballots land and campaigns ramp up, Jagannathan’s dual appeal—combining career highlights with a lighthearted shout-out to her mother—captures the communal spirit of Emmy season. Her call to “think of us” invites Academy members to recognize the creativity and dedication that fuel Deli Boys’ success.
In the coming weeks, industry watchers will see whether Jagannathan’s spirited push translates into nominations—and whether Razz’s Brooklyn kitchen antics cook up enough Emmy buzz to earn her a place on television’s biggest stage.
