- •Upasana Singh, General Secretary of CINTAA, claims she received a show-cause notice from Poonam Dhillon for supporting Ranveer Singh during the Don 3 controversy.
- •Singh stated that as a CINTAA representative, it was her duty to stand by a member facing an industry-related dispute, questioning why her support for Ranveer became an issue.
- •She highlighted that her public support for Ranveer Singh, where she called him a 'Dhurandhar' for reviving the industry, was widely lauded but disliked by some CINTAA office-bearers.
- •Singh also raised concerns about the internal functioning of CINTAA, alleging that decisions, such as appointing a new Joint Secretary and breaking FDs, were made without consulting members.
- •The Ranveer Singh controversy originated in June when FWICE withdrew its non-cooperation directive against him following a dispute over his exit from Don 3, leading to legal notices and involvement from various industry bodies.
Key Questions Answered
Poonam Dhillon issued a show-cause notice to Upasana Singh for publicly supporting actor Ranveer Singh and attending an FWICE press conference during the Don 3 controversy without prior authorization from CINTAA.
The controversy began when producer-director Farhan Akhtar and Excel Entertainment claimed that Ranveer Singh's exit from Don 3 caused substantial financial losses, prompting FWICE to issue a non-cooperation directive that was later withdrawn in June.
Upasana Singh questioned the authority of office-bearers for making decisions without consulting the wider membership, appointing Mr. Paintal as the new Joint Secretary without calling an AGM, and allegedly breaking members' fixed deposits to place them into a current account.
