The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a non-cooperation notice for two months against Bollywood actor Gauahar Khan for not maintaining covid appropriate behaviour. On Tuesday, the FWICE banned the actor for 60 days for allegedly going out to shoot even as she was advised to be under quarantine after testing positive for covid.
The actor on Wednesday took to Instagram to react to the development and wrote, ” Innshallah maa as saabreen Sabr n Shukr,” she added, “The Truth shall always prevail.”
FWICE’s notice to the actor came after a police complaint was filed against her at the Oshiwara Police Station on Monday for flouting covid-19 guidelines. Even as the BMC didn’t name the actor, it was believed that the FIR was indeed against the former Bigg Boss contestant.
In a joint statement, signed by FWICE president BN Tiwari, general secretary Ashok Dubey and treasurer Gangeshwar Srivastav, the film monitoring body said, “It was a very irresponsible act by Gauahar Khan, she not only risked her life but others who were on the set.”
“Her act is highly irresponsible and is against the strict guidelines laid down by the Government of India and Maharashtra issued for the media and entertainment industry post resumption of shootings in Maharashtra. It is indeed a serious offence,” it said.
Notably, a day previous to the notice was issued, Gauahar had released a statement wherein she had said that she has not tested positive for the virus and had urged media to stop speculating.
“For everyone sending their best wishes and concern for Gauahar Khan, here’s the latest report. She’s tested negative in multiple reports.
” She’s a law abiding citizen and complying with all the norms of BMC,” the actor’s team said.
” This is to appeal for all the speculation to be put to an end. Gauahar Khan is cooperating with everything that the BMC requires,” it further said.
