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. ## About Niranjana I'm Niranjana, and if you haven't guessed yet, I'm rarely seen without my partner-in-crime, Nikki. We’ve turned our passion for Tanglish comedy into a profession that’s been featured across various media and award platforms, showing that you can be successful while being completely, unapologetically yourself.
