The Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA), representing actors in India since 1958, has dismissed claims that its Executive Committee has been dissolved. The association maintains that the claims are incorrect and unsupported by its Constitution. CINTAA has been advocating for the rights, welfare and working conditions of actors across film, television, digital platforms, advertising and live performances for nearly seven decades.
The association has a long history of addressing issues such as contracts, delayed payments, workplace disputes, professional rights and ethical practices, as well as supporting members during personal challenges. CINTAA has also collaborated with industry stakeholders to promote fair practices in the film and television sectors.
CINTAA strongly objects to the claims that its elected Executive Committee has been dissolved, stating that its Constitution allows for dissolution only if more than 50% of its members resign. The association said no such situation has arisen, and the Executive Committee remains valid and fully functional. Any vacancies have been filled in accordance with constitutional rules, with eligible members inducted according to the voting count.
The association further clarified that FWICE has attempted to assume powers beyond its constitutional framework, issuing directions that CINTAA considers invalid. CINTAA maintains that its Executive Committee remains fully operational and continues to function for the welfare of artists, protecting their rights and promoting fair treatment.
CINTAA emphasizes that it is more than just an individual office or Executive Committee, having served actors for 68 years. The association is committed to addressing its members' grievances, promoting fair treatment and creating a secure and organized working environment for actors in an industry where individual support may be limited. The organization remains fully operational and committed to its 68-year mandate to stand up for actors and protect its institutional legitimacy.
