Awards and Media Features: The Journey So Far
They say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes it also brings recognition. Here is a look at the awards and media moments that celebrate our unique ventriloquist journey.

About this collection
These awards aren't just plaques on a wall—they are proof that being yourself, even if that means talking to a puppet, actually works. Whether it's the 'We Wonder Women' recognition or seeing our work at NIOS and Loyola College, each piece of media coverage validates the 'nakkal' and 'nagaichuvai' approach we bring to every show.
Look, it started as just a bit of fun—me and Nikki, my partner-in-crime, just trying to make people smile. But somewhere along the line, the media started noticing, and honestly, it felt pretty good.
From being recognized by the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to receiving the 'We Wonder Women' award, these moments have been a huge motivation. It’s not about being the best or having fancy titles. It's about showing that you can be a woman in the entertainment industry, handle the tough days, and still come out on top with a joke or two.
Being featured in newspapers like Loksatya and recognized by institutions like Loyola College for our social work, it really hit home that what we do—this weird, wonderful ventriloquism—actually matters. It brings joy to students, adds flavor to corporate events, and creates space for real conversations.
We don't do this for the trophies. We do this because it's who we are. Every award you see here is a reminder of the people who laughed, the clients who trusted us, and the journey that keeps getting better. If you’re looking for someone who takes the craft seriously but doesn't take themselves too seriously, you're in the right place.
