Poonam Dhillon hospitalised with dengue amid CINTAA resignation row

Poonam Dhillon hospitalised with dengue amid CINTAA resignation row

Veteran actress Poonam Dhillon has been hospitalized in Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital due to a dengue diagnosis, following a dispute within the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA). The controversy erupted after eight executive committee members resigned, demanding fresh elections, alleging that the organization had become dominated by Dhillon and senior vice president Padmini Kolhapure.

Dhillon dismissed the allegations, calling them "vulgar" and "offensive," and claimed two or three individuals were using her name as paid mouthpieces. Despite the turmoil, she has expressed a desire to continue working with CINTAA and highlighted her personal struggles with the organization's opposition to her initiatives.
