Filmfare OTT Awards: Star power, style statements, and streaming successes shine at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025
Right from Ananya Panday’s award-winning debut to Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal’s presence at the red carpet, it was a night that celebrated fashion, acting, and the ever-growing power of stories on OTTs.
The Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 began as a sparkling celebration of the burgeoning digital entertainment segment in India, wherein engaging narratives were merged with high-octane glamour. Even as the Black Lady recognized the best in the realm of web series and cinema, the presence of youth actors and their fashionable attire dominated the event.
Ananya Panday was one of the biggest winners at this year’s event as she took home Best Actor (Female) – Comedy Series for Call Me Bae. Ananya’s winnings were evident in both her performance at the awards as she showcased one of the most outstanding looks in “molten gold archival Elie Saab Couture” as she dominated as one of the biggest fashion icons at the event.
No less impressive was Sanya Malhotra, who won the Best Actor (Female) award for her performance in Mrs. Her act, appreciated for its realistic and depthful elements, again proved that everyone has a taste for some meat in their storytelling. Wearing an embellished black gown designed by Aisha Rao, Sanya’s elegant yet unostentatious appearance mirrored her strong presence on screen.
Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, though not taking away any trophies, made sure that all the attention remained locked and fixed on them. Alia, nominated for “Jigra”, wore an elegant black gown, complete with a choker necklace and subtle makeup, exuding the elegance of yesteryear, while Vicky, nominated for “The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case,” wore an impeccable double-breasted suit.
The awards also honoured some outstanding performances in other categories. While ‘Paatal Lok Season 2’ and ‘Black Warrant’ topped the series awards, Jaideep Ahlawat again displayed his acting skill by bagging the Best Actor (Drama Series). In movies, Abhishek Banerjee, Vikrant Massey, and Preeti Panigrahi were honored for their performances that also reflected the diversity of content on OTT platforms.
Fashion was also as essential to the evening’s storyline. Ranging from Ananya’s gold couture look to Sanya’s elegant look, Fatima Sana Shaikh in Grecian attire, to well-cut male attire from Zahan Kapoor and Jaideep Ahlawat, every look on the red carpet was a perfect fusion of old-school glamour and modernity.
But finally, the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 could be remembered not only for the deserving winners it would give, but for the stars who would emerge in the future of the Indian entertainment industry—one stellar performance and one fashion moment at a time.

Kriti Sanon Joins GIVA As Investor and Brand Ambassador
Move Marks A Strategic Partnership As GIVA Strengthens Its Position In India’s Fast-Growing Fine Jewellery Market
GIVA, India’s leading fine jewellery brand, today announced National Award-winning actor and entrepreneur Kriti Sanon as both Brand Ambassador and Strategic Investor, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey.
The announcement builds on GIVA’s recent campaign launch with Kriti Sanon, Style, Sealed in Silver, signalling a deeper long-term association between the actor and the brand. Beyond capital, Kriti’s association with GIVA will extend across brand-building, collection design inputs, and consumer engagement, leveraging her strong understanding of fashion, culture, and aspirational young audiences as the brand enters its next phase of growth.
Today, the brand is increasingly focused on a new generation of consumers who view jewellery as an extension of personal style, aspirational, design-led, and made for everyday expression rather than just occasions.
Over the last six years, GIVA has emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing omnichannel jewellery brands, with a rapidly expanding footprint across silver jewellery, gold, and lab-grown diamonds. Today, the brand operates over 300+ stores across the country and Sri Lanka and has built a strong connection with young Indian consumers looking for jewellery that feels personal, expressive, and worn beyond occasion.
Founded in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, GIVA entered the market with a clear thesis that India lacked a strong, organised player in the everyday fine silver jewellery category. At a time when silver jewellery remained fragmented and largely occasion-led, GIVA built a design-forward brand focused on young consumers seeking authentic, accessible jewellery they could wear every day.
Speaking on the announcement, Ishendra Agarwal, Founder, GIVA, said:
“Kriti joining GIVA as both ambassador and investor marks a strategic milestone for the brand. She strongly resonates with the new generation of consumers confident, expressive, and deeply individualistic that GIVA is building for. Her investment reflects a shared belief in our long-term vision and the future of design-led fine jewellery in India. Over the years, GIVA has built a strong emotional connection with consumers, and we are excited to have Kriti partner with us as we enter our next phase of growth.”
Speaking about the partnership, Kriti Sanon said:
“What drew me to GIVA was never just the jewellery, it was the conviction behind the brand. From the very beginning, GIVA understood something that many miss: that young India doesn’t want to be dressed, they want to express. And GIVA has built a language for that. By the time we started discussing a partnership, I already believed deeply in the vision. I’ve watched this brand earn real trust, real love, and I wanted to be part of what comes next. And as an investor, I’m here to help shape what it becomes, bringing my instincts around fashion, storytelling, and design to a brand I genuinely believe in.”
Kriti’s strategic investment comes on the heels of GIVA’s ₹530 crore Series C round led by Creaegis, with participation from Premji Invest, Epiq Capital, and Edelweiss Discovery Fund capital being deployed towards retail expansion, technology, supply chain strengthening, and growth in newer categories including lab-grown diamonds.
With design, distribution, and now a deeper creative partnership at its core, GIVA is building towards becoming the defining fine jewellery brand for a new generation of Indian consumers.
