Thiruvananthapuram: Actor Shweta Menon has announced resignation from the post of president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA).

AMMA has faced internal turmoil in recent months

The resignation comes at a time when AMMA has been dealing with a series of internal disputes and public controversies.

In recent months, disagreements among members of the executive committee have drawn attention, with allegations and counter-allegations exposing divisions within the organisation.
