Dhallywood actress Sadika Parveen Poppy has received a letter terminating her membership of the film artists’ association and claimed that she has repeatedly been humiliated.
Poppy, who has not been active in the media for quite some time, on Wednesday evening made a video statement on social media.
She said, “I thought I would never come in front of the camera again. But as an artist I have responsibilities. I have received the National Film Award three times and worked with a reputation for over 26 years in the industry.”
She said she had been repeatedly humiliated by a member of the current artist association through its politics and its many forms of non-cooperation. Riaz, Ferdous, Purnima and Nipun have also been humiliated, she said.
She also said how humiliating it was for her to receive the letter of membership terminating her membership of the artists' association (Shilpi Somity) after working for so many years.
So, she urged the members of the association not to make the mistake they did and to choose the right candidate through election.
