Rinky had been battling cancer since 2022, initially diagnosed with Malignant Phyllodes Tumor (breast cancer).

Despite undergoing surgery, the cancer metastasized to her skull and later to her lungs, leading to a brain tumor. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated to the extent that she could no longer tolerate chemotherapy. In her final weeks, Rinky sought assistance in raising funds for her treatment, garnering support from friends like Miss Grand International 2015 - 2nd Runner-up Vartika Singh and Mr India 2017 - 2nd Runner-up Pavan Rao, who utilized their platforms to aid her cause. Additionally, Rinky's achievements as a finalist of fbb Femina Miss India 2017 and 1st runner-up for Sunsilk Mega Miss North East further underscored her remarkable journey.
