Yes, worn o r defective piston rings o r valve seals cause oil to:

Leak into the combustion chamber

Get burnt with fuel, leading to blue smoke and rising oil loss

While not widespread, some owners report premature wear — likely due to:

Poor oil quality

Overheating

Irregular maintenance

So yes, mechanical wear is a real concern in some Changan Kalam units.
