Das DD made Star Awards history on Sunday (Apr 9) night when he took home the trophy for Best Rising Star at this year’s ceremony at Marina Bay Sands for his work as host of online entertainment programme, #JustSwipeLah.

The 33-year-old, whose full name is Dharmadasa D Dharamahsena, is the first Indian to ever be nominated in a performance category and to win at the award show which celebrates the best of local Chinese entertainment.

He was nominated alongside fellow #JustSwipeLah host Jernelle Oh, Jarrell Huang (In Safe Hands), Kiki Lim (When Duty Calls S2) and Joey Pink (Soul Detective).

When accepting the award, Das, who was visibly tearing up, said: “I’m so surprised that I can’t speak Mandarin.” He thanked the producers of #JustSwipeLah for taking a chance on him hosting a Mandarin show. “Because if I were the producer, I wouldn’t have picked me,” he said.

IPL 2023: "He's The Extra Bowler" - Ex-Australia Star's Brutally Honest Take On Arjun Tendulkar

Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody believes that Arjun Tendulkar is sort of a surplus to Mumbai Indians' resources and as a result, it is not guaranteed that the youngster will get to complete his full quota of four overs on a regular basis. Tendulkar bowled two overs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Gujarat Titans and although he conceded just nine runs, he was not given a second spell in the final overs. The MI attack was taken to the cleaners by Abhinav Manohar and David Miller as the defending champions posted a huge total of 206.
