Dolly Singh just made history by winning the first ever Global Rings Award by Instagram.

The actor and digital creator, known for making us laugh with her instantly recognisable characters like ‘Raju ki Mummy’ and the ‘South Delhi girl’, has been named one of the 25 global recipients of Instagram’s 2025 Rings Award.

According to Meta, “Rings is an award from Instagram to celebrate those who aren’t afraid to take creative chances and do it their way… This award is for the creators who don’t just participate in culture – but shift it.”

Reacting to the award, Dolly shared,“Being recognised with the Rings Award is so surreal that the feeling has still not sunk in. It’s definitely one of my career’s biggest moments yet, and a shiver goes down my spine every time I think about it.”

Although she couldn’t attend the event in person, Dolly celebrated the moment her way, with flair and gratitude.

She shared a post on Instagram, dressed in head-to-toe gold and beaming with pride, “Couldn’t go to receive my award so decided to drip in gold myself... Grateful to my best team who is just as big a part of this!”

She didn’t forget to thank the people who’ve helped shape her journey—from her creative collaborators to her makeup artists and even her “backbone at home”.

Fresh off her film debut in Thank You For Coming, where she starred alongside Bhumi Pednekar, Kusha Kapila, Shibani Bedi and Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly continues to blur the lines between digital stardom and mainstream success.
