An apex body of Telugu film industry ruled out giving membership to an aspiring actress, a day after she caused a flutter by stripping in front of the film chamber office, citing her behaviour.
"Because of her behaviour, the actress (Sri Reddy) cannot be given membership," Movie Artistes Association (MAA) officebearer Sivaji Raja told reporters.
Though application for the membership was given to her earlier, she did not fill it up properly, Raja and other officebearers claimed.
The actress had yesterday stripped in public and staged a protest in front of the film chamber office, alleging that local artistes were not being given enough opportunities in the industry.
She had also alleged that the association did not give her membership.
Rejecting her charges, the officebearers said several Telugu actresses had over the years got adequate opportunities in their film career.
Police have booked the actress under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code (obscene acts in public place).
