The Federation of Western India Cine Employees, an umbrella body of over 32 film industry unions, on Tuesday issued a non-cooperative directive against actor Gauahar Khan for allegedly flouting quarantine rules after testing positive for the coronavirus, according to a report.
The notice against Khan asked all Indian cinema associations linked to the federation to “distance themselves” from the actor for the next two months till a fresh directive was issued, permitting her to resume work in the industry.
In a press release on Tuesday, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees “highly condemned” Khan’s alleged actions, and said it was “indeed a serious offence”. It said that the actor had not only breached the rules issued by the central and the state government, but had “also endangered the lives of the entire crew members” who were working with her on the shoot.
A statement from Khan's team read that the actor is cooperating with BMC. The team also attached her COVID-19 report, dated March 15. "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 statement read.
Khan, who had not reacted initially, took to Instagram on Tuesday, saying “truth shall always prevail”.
