In fact, CINTAA President Poonam Dhillon reacted to Ranveer Singh's issue with FWICE. Poonam Dhillon said, "CINTAA, as an association, would have liked for both parties, or at least one of them, to have contacted us if there was a problem. But since neither the artist, the production, nor the federation contacted us, we're at a loss as we don't have complete information."

'We could have tried to resolve this issue' - Poonam Dhillon

Poonam Dhillon continued, "This is a very strange situation because he's one of our members, but neither the artist, the producer, or the federation informed us or took us into confidence. We could have tried to resolve this issue. That's what our association exists for. To resolve issues, disputes, or any kind of problem that arises between an actor and a producer."

Poonam Dhillon said this

Poonam Dhillon expressed disappointment overRanveer Singh's refusal to involve CINTAA. She said, "Ranveer, being a part of CINTAA, could have involved us and contacted us so that we could have tried to resolve this issue in a more appropriate manner. I want every actor to fulfill their commitments in the best possible manner. If there is a problem, they should handle it and, if necessary, contact the association so that we can resolve it together. Because the truth is, we don't know much. So I can't say whether he is wrong or they are wrong. I just don't know."
