Vicky Lalwani’s post.
Poonam Dhillon was in the news regarding CINTAA controversy.
It is noteworthy that Poonam Dhillon has also been in the news recently regarding CINTAA. 8 members of the Executive Committee of CINTAA recently resigned from their posts and committee. These members had alleged that they had no confidence in the current leadership of the organization. He also demanded holding of new elections.
At the same time, Poonam Dhillon had termed the allegations against her and Vice President Padmini Kolhapure as very objectionable.
Poonam Dhillon rejected the allegations leveled against her. While talking to ANI he said,
The thing was that things were not going their way. They were trying to control CINTAA members through CAWT (Cine Artistes Welfare Trust). When this did not happen, they started making strange and serious allegations against us.
Expressing displeasure over the language of the allegations, Poonam had said,
You wouldn’t believe how obscene the allegations were. They were so objectionable that if we wanted we could have considered taking defamation action against everyone involved. Such allegations, hurtful statements and objectionable language were spread on a large scale.
Poonam had told that this controversy had an emotional impact on her and she many times thought of resigning from the executive committee. He said that two or three people, whom he described as paid spokespersons, used to say similar things.
He had said that one or two of them were also members of CINTAA. He made very inappropriate and hurtful statements. Yet we chose to remain silent.
Poonam said self-respect is most important
Poonam had said that I would like to say just one thing. My self-respect and honesty are very important to me. Whatever we have earned in years, we did not earn it in one or two years. We have built our reputation and self-respect over decades on our behaviour, dignity, presence and the way we behave and interact with people.
In another interview with Hindustan Times, Poonam said that she and Padmini are using their resources and connections to create goodwill for CINTAA. He said that its purpose is not for personal gain.
Poonam said that no one else was taking the initiative to do something for the members of the organization, so I am surprised by her allegations.
Clarification on money collected from CAWT and program
Poonam had said that the resigning members were trying to save CAWT. This trust was formed by late Dilip Kumar, Amrish Puri, Amjad Khan and other senior artists.
He said that this trust has not fulfilled its responsibility of providing medical facilities to the members. According to Poonam, no member of the current committee has raised funds for CAWT in the last few decades.
He told that recently money was raised through a program. Artists Kavita Krishnamurthy and Madhushree, who performed in the program, were given sarees, while Nitin Mukesh, who performed without fees, was given a kurta.
Poonam said,
The resigned members are accusing us of buying sarees. Did we buy those sarees for ourselves? We believe that these artists performed for us without any fees, hence they were given these gifts. Padmini and I had personally called him and got him to present our request. These singers helped for CINTAA. We raised Rs 1 crore from these performances. In such a situation, if we spend Rs 1 lakh on gifts for artists, what is the problem?
‘I have been in the industry for 42 years, can I commit such a betrayal?’
Poonam had questioned whether she could be accused of betraying the organization after working in the film industry for decades.
He had said,
We have been in this industry for 42 years. Some people have been a part of it for 45 years and some for 48 years. Do you really think we could commit such a betrayal after so many years? I want to share something very personal with you. Many times in the last one or one and a half year, I felt like resigning from the Executive Committee of CINTAA.
Explaining the reason for this, he said that these people had made our life very difficult. Everything was opposed. Every initiative was opposed.
