Actors Equity Bangladesh has issued a formal advisory to remind its members about the importance of handling internal conflicts privately rather than airing them on social media or in the press. The organization emphasized that such behavior goes against their code of conduct and could result in disciplinary actions.
The advisory, signed by president Azad Abul Kalam and general secretary Rashed Mamun Apu, highlighted the rising trend of personal disputes among members being publicly disclosed. It urged members to resolve conflicts through internal procedures and discussions rather than resorting to public platforms.
Actors Equity Bangladesh stressed the need for maintaining professionalism and solidarity within the community, stating that airing grievances online can tarnish the image of the profession and create unnecessary negativity. The organization warned that those who violate the code of conduct may face consequences determined by the organization.
In a call for unity and respect for organizational discipline, the guild emphasized the importance of resolving issues through established channels rather than engaging in public trials on social media. The statement concluded with a message of support for the artist community and Actors Equity Bangladesh.
The advisory comes in the context of increasing public scrutiny of disputes within the entertainment sector, some of which have played out on social media platforms in recent months. The organization did not reference any specific incidents or individuals in its communication.
