A total of 11 members of the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) resigned, claiming that President Poonam Dhillon and Vice President Padmini Kolhapure misused their positions. Their resignation letters alleged that Poonam "repeatedly took unilateral decisions" and represented CINTAA without the executive committee's knowledge. Out of the 11 ex-members, eight were Executive Committee members.
