Relationship / Boyfriend Status

Chum’s romantic life has had some public interest. Media reports suggest she was earlier in a long-term relationship lasting around ten years.  More recently she has been linked with Karan Veer Mehra (her fellow contestant from Bigg Boss 18), though she clarified in early 2025 that they are currently “just friends”.  So: no confirmed marriage, and current relationship status is more accurately “undisclosed / evolving”.

Career Highlights: Films, TV & Pageants

Chum’s journey is multifaceted:

• She began in beauty pageants: winning titles like Miss AAPSU (2010) and Miss Tiara India International (2017). 
• She made her acting debut in the web series Paatal Lok (2020). 
• Bollywood film debut came with Badhaai Do (2022), where she portrayed a same-sex partner—earning praise for her authenticity.  She also appeared in Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022). 
• On television / reality TV: She was a contestant in Bigg Boss 18 and emerged as a finalist (4th runner-up).  Her career thus spans modelling, pageantry, films, reality‐TV and entrepreneurship (she runs a café in her hometown). 

Net Worth & Financial Profile

Estimates of Chum Darang’s net worth vary:

• Some sources list around ₹2-3 crore. 
• Others venture higher: one puts her net worth at ₹10 crore as of 2025, citing modelling, acting, endorsements and her café business.  So while there’s no official audited number, a realistic estimate for her net worth is in the range of a few crores of Indian rupees, especially given her upward-trajectory career and business interests.

Why Her Story Stands Out

Chum Darang’s significance goes beyond entertainment. She is among the relatively few from India’s Northeast region (Arunachal Pradesh) to make waves nationally in modelling, films and reality TV. Her film role in Badhaai Do also contributed to representation of LGBTQ+ stories (albeit via a supporting role). Her participation in Bigg Boss 18 further raised her public profile. The entrepreneurial angle (her café) and social activism add layers that many glamour-industry profiles lack.
