The controversy surrounding allegations made by Ansiba Hassan against actor and mimicry artist Tini Tom has taken another turn. The issue gained further attention after actor Asif Ali publicly shared his views on the matter and expressed support for Ansiba.Reacting to the situation, Asif said internal disputes within an organisation should ideally be handled inside the system itself. He also suggested that people may choose to speak publicly only when they feel there are no other options available.As quoted by Cinema Express, Asif said, “Problems within an organisation should be resolved within that organisation. It is only when that does not happen that someone is compelled to speak publicly. People like Ansiba may be speaking out because they have no other option.”He also stated that issues connected to caste and religion should be approached with “common sense.”
Ansiba Hassan renews serious allegations
The latest developments come days after Ansiba levelled serious allegations against Tini Tom. Earlier, she had stated that Tini Tom and certain others within the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) were responsible for her decision to step down from the post of Joint Secretary.Ansiba also alleged that she was subjected to a smear campaign and accused Tini Tom of making communal remarks against her.The issue later gained more attention after Ansiba appeared before authorities to provide a statement related to another complaint she had submitted.
Tini Tom responds to legal action
Meanwhile, Tini Tom has responded to the legal action being initiated against him. The actor addressed media persons while attending a private function at Karukappilly in Kochi.As reported by Mathrubhumi, during his interaction with reporters, one of his friends reportedly spoke about the emotional difficulty caused by the controversy surrounding the actor.Responding to the issue, Tini Tom chose not to elaborate further and said that he would leave everything in God’s hands.Earlier, Tini had denied the allegations made against him and had challenged Ansiba to seek legal remedies if she believed she had been wronged.Ansiba appeared before the Thrikkakara Assistant Commissioner of Police office on Sunday to provide a statement in connection with her complaint.The complaint reportedly concerns her alleged experiences involving actress and AMMA Vice President Lakshmipriya and Thrippunithura Women’s Cell Sub-Inspector Reshma.During her interaction with the media, Ansiba once again criticised Tini Tom and made strong remarks regarding the controversy.Speaking about the issue, Ansiba told media, “Tiny Tom did not wrong only me; he wronged an entire community. Particularly, he has done wrong to people in a secular state like Kerala. It is very unfortunate. When someone has a personal grudge and finds nothing else against a person, they may think they can use the fact that my name is Ansiba Hassan against me. That sends a wrong message to society. Fortunately, we all live in Kerala. Malayalis understood the issue clearly. What he did cannot be justified. He must face the consequences of his actions.”
