Noted playback signer Chinmayi Sripaada, who recently accused Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu of sexual harassment, has said she has been removed from a dubbing artiste's union and indicated she may no longer be able to lend her voice to actors in Tamil films.

In a series of tweets, she said the Tamil Nadu Dubbing Artiste's Union has informed her that she has been removed for non-payment of membership fee for past two years.

"So given to understand that I have been terminated from the dubbing union. Which means I can no longer dub in Tamil films henceforth. The reason stated is that I haven't paid subscription fee for two years..," Chinmayi said in a tweet.

"According to Tamil Film Industry rules if you are not a member of the dubbing union they wont allow you to work.

Considering no written communication, message was sent to me on past dues and with the membership terminated I wonder if I will dub for a film again in Tamil," she said.

In another tweet, Chinmayi who is currently on a concert tour in US said, "I expected the first axe to go down from the dubbing union. I dont know yet if I'll be given my membership back. Just a decision that's been taken without informing me that my membership is terminated."
Chinmaye had dubbed for several leading actresses including Trisha Krishnan in the recent hit film '96.'
