They used to call me Bamboo and Giraffe, as I was tall, thin and dark. In college, I started taking medicines to gain weight. Then, people started making fun of my weight.

You just do what makes you happy.”When Chum Darang spoke out against racismEarlier, Chum also won hearts when she spoke out against racist remarks made by Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner and YouTuber Elvish Yadav. During a podcast with Rajat Dalal, Elvish mocked Chum’s name, calling it vulgar, and ridiculed her ethnicity and her appearance in Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi.Reacting to his comments, Chum wrote on Instagram: “Disrespecting someone's identity and name is not 'fun.' Mocking someone's achievements is not 'banter.' It's time we drew the line between humour and hate. What's even more disappointing is that this wasn't just about my ethnicity.

To my fellow Northeasterners and everyone who has faced racism, I see you, hear you, and I stand with you. We all deserve respect, dignity and equality. Let's raise our voices against racism and promote a culture of empathy, kindness and understanding.”Following the controversy, Elvish was summoned by the National Commission for Women (NCW).
