Actress Chum Darang Speaks on Discrimination Post-Bigg Boss
An actress from Northeast India named Chum Darang said that it's hard to get good acting jobs after being on a reality TV show called Bigg Boss.
She thinks that because she looks different and people don't know much about where she's from, she faces discrimination.
Even though she was in a Bollywood movie and became famous on Bigg Boss, the offers she gets are not very good or fitting for her.
She wants people to see actors from her region as more than just stereotypes and give them a chance to play different kinds of roles.
She joined Bigg Boss to help people from her home state and show that people from the Northeast are diverse.
Actress Chum Darang believes she faces discrimination in Bollywood due to her appearance and origin from Arunachal Pradesh.
She participated in Bigg Boss 18 to give a platform to her home state and challenge regional stereotypes.
Darang secured the fifth position on Bigg Boss 18 and gained attention for her bond with co-contestant Karan Veer Mehra.
Following her Bigg Boss stint, she stated that she has not received desirable work opportunities.
Darang expressed a desire to avoid stereotypical roles and wants casting directors to be more inclusive in their choices for actors from the Northeast.
