FWICE Issued A Non-Cooperative Notice Against Gauhar Khan For Flouting Quarantine Rules

After Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) filed a complaint against Gauhar Khan, the actress seems to have invited more trouble as the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), an umbrella body of over 32 film industry unions, on Tuesday issued a non-cooperative directive against Khan for allegedly flouting quarantine rules after testing positive for the coronavirus, the Scroll.in reported.

According to the notice against Khan, FWICE has asked all Indian cinema associations linked to the federation to "distance themselves" from Gauhar 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 Cine body "highly condemned" the actress's alleged actions, and said it was "indeed a serious offense". 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.

"Such ignorance will not be tolerated by the FWICE and it thanks the BMC and Mumbai Police for the FIR lodged against Ms Gauahar Khan, actress Mumbai for her inhuman, disrespectful act towards the other crew members as well as the government", the union added.

"Any members if found cooperating with Ms Gauahar Khan shall also be liable for stringent disciplinary action by the FWICE", it added.

FWICE President BN Tiwari told The Indian Express (according to Scroll.in) that because of Khan's unprofessional, non-cooperative and irresponsible actions, the whole cast and crew from the project she was shooting for will have to be quarantined and work will be halted.
