Ansiba Hassan Challenges AMMA's Disciplinary Action Amid Personal Dispute

Actress Ansiba Hassan has publicly challenged the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) after receiving a show-cause notice for her comments about the organization. She argues that her disputes with fellow actors Tiny Tom and Lakshmipriya are personal matters and not related to AMMA. Despite her complaints against them, she questions why disciplinary action is being taken against her instead. This ongoing conflict raises significant questions about internal governance within AMMA and the handling of personal disputes in the public eye.

AMMA's Notice to Ansiba Hassan

The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) has issued a show-cause notice to actress Ansiba Hassan, citing her public comments about the organization as a breach of its regulations. AMMA expressed that such matters should have been handled internally rather than being made public, which they claim has tarnished their image. In response, Ansiba clarified that her disagreements with fellow actors Tiny Tom and Lakshmipriya are personal and unrelated to AMMA. She questioned the rationale behind AMMA's disciplinary measures against her while no actions were taken against the others involved.

Ansiba Hassan's Response to AMMA

According to a report from Onmanorama, Ansiba believes that the notice from AMMA is unjust. She maintains that her conflict with Tiny Tom and Lakshmipriya does not pertain to the organization. AMMA accused her of making several public statements that violated their bylaws, asserting that the issues could have been resolved privately. However, by taking the matter public, they claim it has negatively impacted their reputation.

Ansiba is seeking clarification from AMMA regarding the bylaws she allegedly breached, especially since she has filed multiple complaints against Tiny Tom and Lakshmipriya without any response from the organization. Previously serving as joint secretary, she insists her comments to the media are of a personal nature.

Furthermore, she noted that AMMA President Shwetha Menon had previously indicated that her dispute with Lakshmipriya was not an organizational issue, prompting Ansiba to take legal action. After filing a complaint at the Tripunithura Women's Police Station against Lakshmipriya, the police found no evidence to support her claims.
