“Success is not based on gender or simply whether you are a man or a woman. It is based on hard work. At PIFA, we choose to recognise the hard work of men and women and applaud them for that”, stated Anushree Chatterjee, Founder, Goregaon Highway Pulse, associate organiser of PIFA.
PIFA 2018 was studded with celebrated personalities. From TV stars like Supriya Raina Shukla, Shruti Seth, Chandan Anand, Vartika Chauhan and Amrit Kashyap to Bollywood singer, Pamela Jain and to celebrity Chef Harpal Singh (Namak Shamak fame), they were all part of PIFA 2018! Each one was praising the beautifully organised event and was pleased with the awards conducted.
A special mention must be made of our PIFA Performances! Master storyteller, Mehak Mirza Prabhu; young poet Ravi Chand Punia, singer Pamela Jain, Nidhi Moudgil and Soumitra Dev Burman dazzled the stage with their acts. Dancers like Ritu Manek and Madhumita Chakraborty left the audience spellbound with their classical dance acts that included young children as well. Sneh Kala Kendra’s featuring oldies left everyone spellbound!
PIFA 2018 also had a very special focus on social causes. The PIFA stage was used to promote and spread awareness about key issues like Mental Health, Save Aarey and Forced Sex Trade. For this, PIFA had associated with foundations like Rescue Foundation, Bipolar India and #Imwarrior to support their initiatives.
Through a specially curated ramp walk, that featured adults and kids, PIFA brought to the fore the real stories of mental health victims, of the threatened forest lands in Mumbai and the humanitarian cause of saving victims of forced commercial sex. This received great appreciation from the PIFA audience.
