The beauty pageant world mourns the loss of one of its own as former Miss India Tripura 2017, Rinky Chakma, tragically passed away at the tender age of 28 after a valiant battle with cancer.
Rinky Chakma, a beloved figure in the beauty industry, had been courageously battling cancer for the past two years before ultimately succumbing to the relentless illness.

Despite her unwavering resolve and the best medical efforts, Rinky’s health continued to decline, and she was unable to endure further chemotherapy treatments.
Reports indicate that Rinky Chakma’s condition had reached a critical stage, leading to her admission to Max Hospital Saket on February 22. Placed on a ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Rinky faced the daunting challenge of battling the disease as one of her lungs ceased to function effectively. Prior to her hospitalization, Rinky had taken to social media, bravely sharing her journey with cancer and appealing for financial assistance to support her ongoing treatment. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she candidly expressed her family’s struggle with mounting medical expenses, having depleted their savings over the course of her illness.
