A fresh confrontation has erupted within the Cine and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA), with actor Upasana Singh leveling serious allegations against veteran actresses Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure. The ongoing dispute within the artists' body took a highly dramatic turn following a public clash that required police intervention. This incident has further exposed the deep administrative divisions and power struggles within the association.
Alleged Removal of Official Records in a Tempo
Upasana Singh claimed she caught Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure trying to move official CINTAA documents out of the office premises using a tempo. She explained that she received a phone call from another actor who happened to pass by and witnessed the unusual activity. Upon learning about the quiet transfer of these files, Upasana rushed to the site immediately and summoned the police to halt the process and secure the records.
Viral Video and Police Confrontation
A video capturing the heated confrontation has circulated widely on social media platforms. In the footage, Upasana Singh along with actress Preeti and other former CINTAA members can be seen arguing with police officers, demanding that the official papers be returned. Former President Poonam Dhillon and former Vice-President Padmini Kolhapure are also visible in the clip. Upasana and Preeti are seen urging the police officers to intervene and recover the files from the tempo.
Demands for Forensic Audit and Legal Questions
Upasana expressed deep suspicion over the sudden movement of these files, calling it an illegal attempt to cover up past administrative actions. She pointed out that a CINTAA member had previously raised concerns about the integrity of the files and had strongly demanded a forensic audit. Furthermore, Upasana argued that since the recent election results have been approved, Poonam and Padmini no longer hold the authority to access or enter the CINTAA office. A formal police complaint has been registered to investigate the matter.
History of Internal Friction and Public Accusations
The friction between Upasana Singh and the duo of Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure has been brewing for some time. Prior to this incident, Upasana had publicly accused the veteran actresses of humiliating and insulting her during association meetings. This long-standing animosity within CINTAA has now spilled over into a full-blown public altercation, shifting the battleground from the boardroom to the police station.
