Eight CINTAA Executive Committee Members Resign Citing Governance ConcernsPreviousNext

Eight elected members of the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) Executive Committee resigned, citing loss of confidence in the association's functioning and calling for fresh elections. They alleged that President Poonam Dhillon and Senior Vice President Padmini Kolhapure took unilateral decisions, issued official communications without committee approval, and misused their positions. The members also raised concerns about Dhillon and Kolhapure visiting government offices with privately engaged lawyers without authorization. CINTAA's General Secretary Upasana Singh confirmed the resignations, while the association's lawyer stated the committee remains active.
