History was made at Star Awards 2023 when Das DD was declared winner of the Best Rising Star award.
The 33-year-old is the host of Mediacorp’s online entertainment programme "#JustSwipeLah".
His win
Upon hearing his name announced, Das broke down into tears.
Approaching the mic to give his winning speech, he joked that he was so overwhelmed that he could barely remember how to speak Mandarin.
He then proceeded to deliver his speech in flawless Mandarin.
Deeply moved by his win, Das appeared to still be in shock as he thanked all the people who had stood by him throughout his career.
He also expressed gratitude at being allowed such an opportunity, given that he is technically not a Mediacorp artiste but just the host of an online variety programme.
"我爱 Mediacorp!" he shouted as he made his triumphant exit off stage.
