Archita Phukan, better known online as Babydoll Archi, just did something most influencers don’t — she handed over control of her money to her audience.
And she kept her word.
She recently donated ₹75,000 to two causes close to her heart: one helping children facing abuse in red-light areas, and the other saving animals dying on the streets.
But what made this moment special wasn’t just the donation. It was how she did it.
She Let the Public Decide Where the Money Goes
Archita put a poll on Instagram. Not just a "yes or no" or "this outfit or that one." She asked her followers where they thought she should donate her money. She had:
- Animal welfare
- Children from red light zones
- Elderly care
- Health initiatives
- Over 45,000 people voted.
She took the results seriously. Archita did not just put out the poll and never think of again. She wrote a story about the donations on her Instagram — receipts, NGO names, reference numbers, and the numbers of votes.
You usually wouldn't see this level of transparency. Most influencers seem to stop at or before the donation part. They just post vague things or Instagram captions, "done!" But Archita put all the information out to her followers. Her followers did not only see her donate from the poll. They were part of it, in that there is contribution to the impact.
Who Got the Donations?
She split it into two donations:
- ₹30,000 to Social Activities Integration (SAI). An NGO that works with children that are being abused in red light zones, and
- ₹45,000 to IAF India Animal Foundation an NGO who works to help animals in distress who have no voice and no choice.
Both of these donations were linked to the number of votes.
Final Voting Breakdown
-
Children: 15,853 votes (35%)
-
Animal Welfare: 14,933 votes (33%)
-
Health: 8,466 votes (19%)
-
Elderly: 5,901 votes (13%)
Archita even captioned the result with:
“As per the voting results. Donations have been successfully processed. It’s your contribution. Cheers ❤️”
It felt honest. It felt shared. And it clearly meant something to her and the people who support her.
Why This Mattered More Than Just Money
This story is not just about a donation. It’s about trust.
To be clear, this story is about more than just a donation. It is about trust.
When a public figure, particularly one exhibits faults or polarizing, allows their audience to choose how they use their dollars—that sends a noticeable, big message: "You matter here."
The donation also reminded people of Archita's origins. Archita had earlier disclosed her trauma—being made to spend 6 years in prostitution and paying ₹ 25 lakh to buy herself freedom. She knows what it means to feel powerless.
The donation was a soft, yet powerful reminder, that she now uses her platform to give power back.
Even if ₹ 75,000 doesn't look huge to some, the transparency, the public participation, and the emotional significance, made it a sizeable moment online.

The Real Story Behind the Headlines
There has been lots of chatter about Archita lately—rumor of adult film offers, viral reels, daring photoshoots. But this donation shows a different angle.
Archita is putting together something deeper than just social media appeal.
This act made her seem real. Truthful. Grounded. Not someone who was chasing clout or doing these silly things for views in the meaning of the word—'fame-seeking behavior'.
And it showed that no matter what happened in the prison of her past, or the boldness of her present image, she has not forgotten the all bad pain can be, when it is others Go through---other people hurt---life hurts.
It was emotional for many fans. Some even commented:
“I voted for children and you actually did it. Thank you!”
“More power to you. This is how influencers should influence.”
