Poonam Dhillon hospitalised 

Veteran actress Poonam Dhillon has been admitted to a suburban hospital after being diagnosed with dengue. Her hospitalisation comes amid an internal dispute within CINTAA. Poonam’s hospitalisation comes days after a controversy surrounding the Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA). Recently, eight elected members of CINTAA’s Executive Committee resigned from their posts and called for fresh elections, citing a loss of confidence in the association’s current functioning. We wish her a speedy recovery and good health.
