This year’s season of Bigg Boss 18 is gearing up to be a thrilling affair, with an exciting mix of celebrities stepping into the house. One of the most anticipated contestants is Chum Darang, a Bollywood actress who gained fame with her notable role as Bhumi Pednekar’s girlfriend in Badhaai Do. After making her mark in films, Chum is now set to make her TV debut on Bigg Boss 18.
Hailing from Arunachal Pradesh, Chum has been in the spotlight for some time. She worked in renowned films such as Gangubai Kathiawadi and Badhaai Do, but her journey wasn’t always easy. She first started her career in beauty pageants and made waves by winning Miss Tiara India International 2017. She has also represented India in international pageants like Miss Asia World and Miss India Earth. Now, this accomplished beauty queen is stepping into one of India’s biggest reality shows.
Apart from her glamorous roles in the entertainment industry, Chum has been a vocal advocate against racism. She has spoken up about the challenges she faced, especially due to her northeastern roots. In 2018, she publicly tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a social media post, raising the issue of racism. Chum shared her experiences with racist slurs, including being called “Chinki” or “Miss Chinese,” and bravely questioned how long people from the northeast would continue to face such treatment. Her strong stance has earned her respect beyond the world of films and pageantry.
Bigg Boss 18 will feature 18 contestants, including other well-known names like Khatron Ke Khiladi winner Karanvir Mehra, actor Vivian Dsena, and TV actresses Alice Kaushik and Chahat Pandey. The theme of the show this year is “Past, Present, and Future,” and the twist is that Bigg Boss himself will be making some of the decisions. The show’s format is set to change, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
As Chum Darang enters the Bigg Boss house, her fans are excited to see her take on the challenges of the game. It will be interesting to watch how she navigates the twists and turns of the reality show, especially with her strong and bold personality.
