“I’m really happy and touched to receive the IMDb “Breakout Star” STARmeter Award. I don’t always have such confidence, so once in a while, when you get this kind of validation, you feel like you’re doing something right,” says Kusruti. “To the people who support me, I want to say that I am also a viewer like you, and I feel like we always learn and expand our minds by watching diverse things. IMDb is a place where you can go to learn about different artists, actors, films, and it can help you broaden your mind with different ideas. That is what you can gift yourself, so keep watching different things, different artists, even when you don’t like something. That will do something to you.”
