​5 Actors who ruled the OTT space in 2022!

2022 saw some remarkable, impressive performances from actors who rose to fame with their sheer acting prowess in the burgeoning digital space.

Even though 2022 has been a mixed bag for B-town, OTT platforms have given some cutting-edge content, headlined by some prolific actors. Here we have listed the top 5 performances of 2022 from the OTT space.

2/6

​Vijay Varma

He received rave reviews, critical acclaim, abundant hatred ( to be read love) and accolades alongside applause from the audiences for his stellar portrayal of an abusive husband in 'Darlings'. The film 'Darlings' captured the attention and hearts of the audience because of its fresh storyline. The compelling storytelling and brilliant performances by Vijay Varma, Alia Bhatt, and Shefali Shah, make Darlings a must-watch.

3/6

​Zain Khan

Actor Zain Khan came like a breadth of fresh air and left the audiences in awe with his convincing portrayal of Harfan, a spy in 'Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy'.The actor won rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. Even though, the show boasted of a stellar cast, it was Zain who garnered the limelight and impressed with his strong screen presence.

4/6

​Amit Sadh

The versatile actor had two series to his credit this year. First was the psychological thriller, 'Breathe: Into The Shadows 2', and the second was 'Duranga'. 'Duranga' is an official Indian adaptation of the hit Korean crime drama, 'Flower of Evil'. Amit never disappoints the audience with his performances.

5/6

​Jitendra Kumar

Starring Jitendra Kumar in the lead, the show 'Panchayat' which returned this year with a new season is one of the most popular Indian shows streaming online. The series follows the life of an engineering graduate who joins as a 'Panchayat' secretary in a remote village named Phulera in Uttar Pradesh due to the lack of better job options. Kumar in the show is phenomenal, to say the least.

6/6

​Rohit Saraf

Rohit Saraf is our current Gen Z heartstopper and national crush of India. He gave a breakthrough performance with his fantastic portrayal of Rishi. Rishi's character is an old-school diehard romantic in the hit series, 'Mismatched'. He came back in a much more entertaining avatar of the lover boy for 'Mismatched' Season 2.
