AMMA's Internal Feud Erupts Publicly Through Leaked Audio Recording
The Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) finds itself embroiled in a highly public controversy as an internal dispute between senior members has spilled into the open. An audio clip, widely circulated on social media platforms, is alleged to contain a conversation between Vice President Lakshmipriya and Executive Member Neena Kurup, revealing a bitter and personal conflict that has rocked the prestigious organization.
Incident at Family Meet Sparks Heated Exchange
Reports from News 18 indicate that the leaked audio originates from a dispute during a recent family meet hosted by AMMA. The conflict reportedly began when, during a program coordinated by Vice President Lakshmipriya, a child performer in costume was allegedly prevented from going on stage by Executive Member Neena Kurup. This incident appears to have triggered the explosive exchange now circulating online.
Lakshmipriya's Fiery Accusations in Leaked Audio
In the leaked message, Lakshmipriya launches into a lengthy and emotionally charged attack against Neena Kurup. "Neena Kurup madam, however great a woman you may think you are, you will carry the curse of many people," she asserts in the recording. "You will suffer, suffer, and suffer before you die—I can write that down for you."
Lakshmipriya vigorously defends her role as program coordinator, insisting she had clear knowledge of the schedule. She claims the child performer was fully prepared for their scheduled item and accuses Neena Kurup of deliberately blocking access to the stage without consulting the coordination team.
The Vice President questions Neena's conduct at public events, demanding, "Have you ever respectfully stood on stage for anything? Whether lighting the lamp, or when honoring Mohanlal, have you ever stood with dignity?" She further accuses Neena of acting out of jealousy and adds scathing personal remarks: "Are you even a woman? The word 'woman' carries some dignity. You are an insult to women—poison. You are the most poisonous woman in this entire organization."
Allegations of Election Campaigning and Character Attacks
Lakshmipriya claims Neena's actions significantly damaged the program's execution and questions her attitude within the association. She alleges that Neena believes AMMA revolves entirely around her personal interests and authority.
Her message continues with philosophical reflections: "Love must be earned by giving love; respect must be earned by giving respect." She further alleges that Neena actively campaigned against her during the last organizational elections, though she adds that her destiny is ultimately shaped by divine will rather than Neena's influence. "Neena Kurup will achieve nothing in this world," Lakshmipriya declares conclusively.
The Vice President concludes her tirade by accusing Neena of harboring hatred toward "everything in this world" and stating, "There is something you don't have, and we do—common sense. You don't have it. What you displayed was pure filth and arrogance."
Neena Kurup's Calm but Firm Response
Executive Member Neena Kurup has responded to the leaked audio with a notably calmer tone while firmly rejecting the language used. "Lakshmi, now I have no choice but to respond. What you just said was extremely, extremely inappropriate," she states in her reply.
Neena emphasizes organizational decorum, asserting, "No AMMA member should speak like this. No matter what disagreements exist, they can be brought to the Executive Committee or spoken directly." She expresses respect for Lakshmipriya's emotions but maintains that the tone and content of the audio reveal more about the speaker's character than the actual dispute.
Call for Organizational Decorum and Professional Conduct
Neena Kurup concludes her response with a pointed observation about professional conduct within AMMA. "Such language and such a manner of speaking only exposes the character of the person speaking," she remarks. "You should not speak like this; this is not AMMA."
The public airing of this internal conflict raises significant questions about:
- The maintenance of professional decorum within industry associations
- Protocols for resolving internal disputes among senior members
- The impact of such public controversies on AMMA's reputation
- Mechanisms for addressing coordination issues during organizational events
This incident marks a rare public display of internal discord within AMMA, an organization that typically presents a united front to the public and media. The leaked audio has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms and entertainment circles, with many expressing concern about the implications for the association's internal harmony and public image.
