How do you begin the First FUCHSIA Awards?

“You just have to keep on doing what you do…Keep going. Start by starting.” – Meryl Streep

So that’s what we’ll do! The year is over, just like that, but not before gifting us some phenomenal content in both Films and Television. So without much further ado, we thought – we need to do this now, because, the industry that is pushing itself to weave gold deserves a mention – more than that, it deserves recognition, and FUCHSIA awards are here just to do that.

FUCHSIA Awards aim to recognize the immense talent we showcase as a nation. It is meant to encourage those who are new to the industry as well as acknowledge those who are superseding themselves in the business – and why not? If you raise the bench mark, you give us, the audience, more and better entertainment. Having said that, let’s hope 2019 is not the best so far, there is more to come – the bar is set high and … drum roll – We have the Best of 2019 for you!
