CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes Association) inaugurated it’s new official complex situated in a plush new tower next to Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri. The new place has been aptly named CINTAA House. Earlier in the day, ETimes brought you an exclusive low-down from CINTAA General Secretary Amit Behl, who revealed the perseverance and passion that fuelled the new office for the actors’ association.
We also spoke to Nandita Puri, late actor Om Puri’s wife who spoke of her husband’s commitment to the Association and the cause of helping the actors’ community. She said, “Om Puri was the President/Chairman of CINTAA when he passed on. He was always concerned about fellow cine artists and saw to their welfare. In his memory, the Om Puri Foundation especially Ishaan (Puri’s son) and myself decided to host the snacks for all the CINTAA members who attended the launch today. Today is Dussehra and Om Puri ji’s birth anniversary just happened on October 18, so we decided to serve some of his favourite snacks, including samosa and besan laddoo.”
Actor Manoj Joshi, who is also the President of CINTAA has appealed to the big stars of the film world to contribute to the welfare of the less privileged artistes. He said, “Unke naakhun ke jitna contribute kare toh bahut hoga (If the big stars shell out even a minute fraction of their earnings, it will be a big help).” Manoj Joshi also added that the old age home for cine artistes, medical facilities and housing for low income artistes will be taken care of through CINTAA funds.
Preeti Sapru, General Secretary of the Cine & TV Artiste Welfare Trust said, “I will approach Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur for his support. Our members should get 50 per cent concession on medicines, as well.”
