Gauahar Banned From Working For 60 Days For ‘Shooting’ While Being COVID-19 +ve
Mumbai: The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) on Tuesday issued a non-cooperation notice against actress Gauahar Khan for two months for violation of COVID-19 rules.
This comes after BMC booked her for allegedly going out for a film shoot despite testing positive for COVID-19.
In a joint statement by FWICE President BN Tiwari, General Secretary Ashok Dubey and Treasurer Gangeshwar Srivastava, the association said, “It was a very irresponsible act by Gauahar Khan, she not only risked her life but others who were on the set.” It further stated it condemns Gauahar.
FWICE said it condemns Gauhar to resume shooting even after testing for COVID-19 positive despite being asked to quarantine by BMC.
It said, “Her act is highly irresponsible and against the strict guidelines issued by the Government of India and Maharashtra to the media and entertainment industry, post resumption of shootings in Maharashtra. It is indeed a serious offence.” The 37-year-old actor had denied being tested positive in a statement.
The actor’s team said, “For everyone who sent their best wishes and concern for Gauhar Khan, here is the latest information. Kam tested the negative in several reports. A law-abiding citizen knew and all of B.M.C. This is to appeal for all the speculation to be put to an end. Gauahar Khan is cooperating with everything that the BMC requires”.
FWICE has also suggested its members to distance themselves from being associated with Gauahar Khan for the next two months until a fresh directive is issued.
