Saiyaara Stars Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda Win IMDb Breakout Star Awards
The Saiyaara wave just isn’t slowing down. After raking in a jaw-dropping ₹547 crores worldwide, the Mohit Suri-directed romantic drama has now gifted its leads, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, another milestone moment.
Saiyaara Stars Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda Win IMDb Breakout Star Awards
Both actors have been crowned winners of the IMDb ‘Breakout Star’ STARmeter Award, thanks to the crazy love they have been getting from audiences. This is not some jury-picked title; it is purely based on IMDb’s Popular Indian Celebrities rankings, which means fans made this happen.
For Ahaan, this win is extra emotional. He gushed in gratitude –
“The IMDb ‘Breakout Star’ STARmeter Award is the first award of my acting career, and the fact that it comes directly from audiences makes it all the more special. I spent my whole childhood scouring IMDb, seeing different polls, watching the rise and fall of various movies and shows. IMDb was a portal for me to lose myself into world cinema. To be mentioned on it, to be a part of it, to be honored by it, and to know that I’m up there somewhere, would have been something that that a 12-year-old on his box computer could never have fathomed, but always dreamed of.”
Getting reflective, he did not forget to thank the people who backed him from day one.
“I’d like to thank Adi sir for believing in me and Mohit sir for being the best mentor I could have asked for in this journey of ‘Saiyaara’. Sharing this award with my co-star Aneet makes this achievement even more special. She deserves not only this but the world. For now, I want to focus on my journey ahead. I want to focus on my next film and work twice as hard to deliver another performance that I can be proud of. I’m overwhelmed to have received this unanimous love from people, it still shocks me to this day, and honestly, I think the only way to go forward is keep my head low and keep working.”

Meanwhile, Aneet Padda is all about gratitude and gearing up for more screen magic. She added –
“I’m delighted that ‘Saiyaara’ and my performance in it has resonated with audiences worldwide, which has led to my winning the IMDb ‘Breakout Star’ STARmeter Award. Winning an accolade that is driven by audiences makes this truly a meaningful recognition. I’m thrilled to have entertained people with a performance that has touched them. I’d like to dedicate my first award to the entire cast and crew of the film, and to Adi sir and Mohit sir for their belief in someone like me, and to my co-star Ahaan.
It’s been an absolute joy to share the screen and this journey with him. It is truly precious when people believe in your skills and give you that one chance you need. Playing Vaani has been one of the most joyful and intense experiences of my life. I can’t wait to be back on screen soon and do what I love most, bringing stories and incredible characters to life. I want to focus on my next film, take all this love and channelize it to do even better on screen next time.”
With two breakout awards in the bag, and a fanbase that is clearly here for the ride, it is safe to say Ahaan and Aneet are just getting started. Saiyaara may have been their big debut, but something tells us their best chapters are yet to come.
