‘Scoop’ marks actress Karishma Tanna’s debut in the world of OTT, featuring in Hansal Mehta’s production that has stirred considerable excitement within the industry. The show has recently earned its place among the top 10 shows of 2023 on IMDB.
Inspired by the true story of journalist Jigna Vora, who was wrongly accused of murdering a fellow journalist, ‘Scoop’ is an adaptation of Jigna’s own written account of her life behind bars and the profound impact of the unjust accusation on her life.
Karishma Tanna’s portrayal in the lead role garnered significant acclaim, and the show itself was recognized as outstanding. Achieving a spot among the most popular shows of the year on IMDB adds further validation to the collective efforts of the entire team. ‘Scoop’ premiered on Netflix in June 2023.
Recently, at the 2023 Busan Film Festival’s Asia Contents Awards and Global OTT Awards, ‘Scoop’ emerged victorious in two categories. Karishma Tanna was honored with the ‘Best Lead Actress’ award for her role as a journalist advocating for justice in a politically charged environment.
Expressing her gratitude and excitement, Karishma Tanna remarked, “I am truly humbled and elated by this recognition at the Busan Film Festival. It has been an incredible journey bringing Jagruti Pathak to life in ‘Scoop.’ Big thank you to Netflix and Hansal Sir for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. This award belongs to the entire team who worked tirelessly to make this project a reality. I am immensely grateful to my fans for their unwavering support, and I hope to continue pushing boundaries and delivering powerful performances in the future.”

“This is a really proud moment for us to have received this recognition for ‘Scoop’ as the best Asian TV Series in Busan. Our attempt at bringing alive a story that gripped India has been received with so much love, well beyond our borders. This award bears testimony to the spirit of Jigna Vora,” said Hansal Mehta. He acknowledged the collaborative efforts of the entire team, including Netflix and Matchbox Shots, and emphasized the importance of telling a timely story of moral, ethical, personal, and journalistic dimensions.
