MUMBAI: Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd, one of the leading content houses in the country, bags “Gold Abby Award” for #FilmiGaaneAntakshari campaign at Goa Fest 2017 in the Digital Media- Social Media Category.
Goafest was initiated to celebrate the best of Indian advertising. The entity completes 12 successful years in the industry and is considered to be one of the most prestigious among the gamut. This year 94 media agencies participated in the Abbies and the total number of entries received was 1128 which were judged by 112 jury members.
Shemaroo Entertainment director Hiren Gada said, “Shemaroo has been at the forefront of digital content and this award for innovation in social media is a big milestone in our digital journey. I dedicate this award to our dynamic young team of passionate digital media specialists.”
#FilmiGaaneAntakshari, an initiative by Shemaroo’s Filmigaane, was the first of its kind digital campaign that ran on Twitter for seven continuous days, 24 hours from 26 September ’16 to 3 October ’16 for a total of 168 hours. This campaign was not just unique because it ran for 168 hours continuous, but it went a step ahead by making us re-live with the beautiful retro era of songs released on or before the year 2000.
Shemaroo Entertainment’s #FilmiGaaneAntakshari also entered ‘Limca Book of Records’ for playing the longest running antakshari on a digital platform and bagged IAMI award earlier this year. Its latest initiative is #KuchKisseKuchKahaniyan – first of its kind musical web series on Filmigaane Facebook page.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
