“Can’t smile any wider, and can’t stop smiling either!"

On December 5, 2020, IMDb announced the breakout stars featured in an Indian streaming film or web series for the first time ever.

The world’s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content, IMDb unveiled the 2020 Top 10 Breakout Stars of Indian OTT platforms.

IMDb determines its definitive top 10 lists using data from IMDbPro STARmeter rankings.

These are based on the actual page views of the more than 200 million monthly IMDb visitors.

OTT (Over-the-top) platforms include the likes of Netflix but there are a variety of Indian platforms like ALTBalaji and Zee5 available.

Streaming platforms have become more popular in 2020 owing to the Coronavirus pandemic. As cinemas have been shut, a lot of films have seen digital releases instead.

Sanjana Sanghi was named first-place on IMDb’s list.

She starred in the 2020 film Dil Bechara, which is based on the popular book and film, The Fault in Our Stars, and also starred the late Sushant Singh Rajput.

Sanjana took to her Instagram handle to express her happiness for the same and said the feeling is beyond surreal.

She dedicated the award to her audience, saying it belongs to them first.

While expressing her gratitude to everyone, she wrote:

“Can’t smile any wider, and can’t stop smiling either! @imdb @imdbpro: THANKYOU for this immense honour.

“Being declared as your No 1 Breakout Star of the Year is beyond surreal.

“To the best audiences in the world, this is first yours and then mine.

“Literally, since this recognition is entirely audience generated YOU made it all happen!

“So grateful for all the incredible geniuses I have the privilege of working with who recognise potential in me that I could never see in myself.

“All of your ceaseless love makes me want to tell stories forever, work even harder and be better every day.”

Web series Mirzapur landed actresses Isha Talwar and Harshita Gaur the second and third spots on the Breakout Stars list.
