“Rinky Chakma, crowned Miss India Tripura in 2017, passed away at the age of 28 following a courageous two-year fight against cancer. Despite undergoing surgery and showing remarkable strength, her health deteriorated, leading to her unfortunate demise.”
“Once a celebrated figure on the stage as Miss India Tripura, Chakma’s life took a challenging turn when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, as per Femina reports. Initially, the battle seemed conquerable, but unfortunately, the cancer spread to her lungs and head, culminating in a brain tumor.”
In her final post, she had kindly asked for messages instead of calls, explaining, “I am too weak to handle calls with my ongoing treatments. Please send messages. Also, keep me in your prayers. Sending love and healing to everyone,” expressed Chakma.
Chakma was honored with the “Beauty with a Purpose” award during her participation in the Miss India pageant. Manushi Chillar emerged as the winner of the pageant in 2017.
