Darshan Jariwala Resigns From CINTAA Following A Journalist's Allegations Of Making Her Pregnant, Confirms Secretary Amit Behl

Darshan Jariwala was accused of a relationship and "gandharv vivah," resulting in a journalist getting pregnant almost two months ago. Now it's been two months, and the reports say that Jariwala has disowned the girl. Following the same, Darshan Jariwala has now resigned from his position as Vice President of the Cine and Television Artists Association (CINTAA), Executive Committee Member of CINTAA, and General Secretary of the Cine Artists' Welfare Trust (CAWT).

The decision was made after the said journalist made the incident public on her social media and shared her private chats with members of the press and actors alike over two months. The journalist also asked for the removal of Jariwala from CINTAA positions.

CINTAA had informed her that this was not within their purview as she is not their member. She was asked to write to CINTAA, officially expressing her grievances. She sent a mail to them and started posting chats and voice messages using derogatory comments on CINTAA and CAWT.

Following the same, the CINTAA Committee called Jariwala for an explanation. He promised CINTAA that he was getting legal help.

CINTAA General Secretary Amit Behl confirmed, "Unfortunately, this matter kept dragging, and these posts were becoming very embarrassing for both CINTAA and CAWT. Our members, especially women, senior citizens, and guardians of child actors, expressed their grievance at this issue, and this matter is affecting the reputation of CINTAA. Hence, Darshan Jariwala has resigned from all the positions at CINTAA."
