Hello,

You can use FormattedText to achieve this.

Please refer to the Use formatted text and sample code below:

<HorizontalStackLayout>
    <Entry Placeholder="please enter data here"/>
    <Label>
        <Label.FormattedText>
            <FormattedString>
                <Span Text="Enter Data "/>
                <Span Text="*" TextColor="Red"/>
            </FormattedString>
        </Label.FormattedText>
    </Label>
</HorizontalStackLayout>
