Fresh off his historic win at this year's Star Awards, Das DD shares with CNA Lifestyle his thoughts on his career and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.
as the first person of Indian descent to be nominated – and win – in a performance-based category at the Star Awards., delivered in impeccable Mandarin, quickly became viral as netizens cheered him on – with some learning, for the first time, of his fluency in four languages: English, Tamil, Mandarin and Malay.
“The bosses gave me an opportunity to be in their videos because they knew I could speak Mandarin, thus giving me an online platform for my skills.” Das added: “That’s why I feel comedy is a very meaningful thing. A lot of people think comedy is just for fun and entertainment, and that it’s not noble. But I think what I do as a content creator gives people a vacation from their problems for a few minutes. They would probably need to get back to their problems. But at least, I managed to put a smile on their faces for a little while.
“My favourite restaurant is Karu's Indian Banana Leaf Restaurant. I’ve been going there since I was four,” he recommended.If there’s one thing Das could retain in the future, it would be the positive environment in the entertainment industry.
