FWICE Sends A Detailed Note Against Gauahar Khan For Flouting COVID-19 Rules; Calls Her Act 'Highly Irresponsible' And A 'Serious Offence' -EXCLUSIVE
After banning her for 2 months, FWICE has sent out a detailed note against Gauahar Khan. Read the exclusive report!
Despite Gauahar Khan issuing a statement that she tested negative for COVID-19 and she is abiding by all rules and protocols laid down by BMC, the industry seems to be in no mood to let it go. The fact is, a large section of the film industry is convinced she flouted the COVID-19 guidelines after allegedly being tested positive. In swift action, the Federation of Western India Cinema Employees (FWICE) has decided not to work on any film that features Ms Khan.
A note signed by Ashoke Pandit, B N Tiwari, Sharad Shelar, Ashok Dubey, Gangeshwar Shrivastav, "FWICE highly condemns the act of Ms Gauahar Khan for resuming shooting despite being tested positive for COVID-19 even though she was advised to be quarantined. Her act is highly irresponsible and is against the strict guidelines laid down the Government of India & Maharashtra issued for the Media and Entertainment Industry post resumption of shootings in Maharashtra. It is indeed a serious offence and that she has not only breached the rules issued by the Government but also endangered the lives of the entire crew members working with her on the respective shoot. Such ignorance will not be tolerated by the FWICE and that it thanks the BMC the Mumbai Police for the FIR lodged against Ms Gauahar Khan, actress Mumbai for her inhuman, disrespectful act towards the other crew members as well as the Government."
