Actress Pallavi Joshi Seeks Resignation From FTII Society

06 July, Pune

Well known television actress Pallavi Joshi has written to the secretary (films) in the I&B ministry saying she does not want to be part of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) society.

This puts the effectiveness of the society in question, as earlier noted filmmaker Jahnu Barua and eminent cinematographer Santosh Sivan had also written to the authorities saying they did not want to be considered as members of the FTII society or its governing council.

Joshi said she had written to the ministry three days back. “I donot want to be part of the FTII society after this cloud of negativity. When I had learnt about my nomination, I was looking forward to the experience, as I would be able to share my experience with the students. But what is the use of being on the society or in the governing council if the students are unhappy and dissatisfied,” she added.
