For Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA), an organization of film industry artists, Dilip Kumar had once thought that this organization should have its own tower. On the occasion of Vijayadashami, Cinta Tower was inaugurated by Dadasaheb Phalke Award winning actress Asha Parekh. In 1991, Cine Artists Welfare Trust was founded by veteran Indian cinema actors Dilip Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Amjad Khan and Asha Parekh. The main objective of this trust was that the artistes’ organization of the industry should have its own tower. And, with continuous hard work, the grand tower of Sinta was built.

Asha Parekh said on this occasion, ‘Amjad (Khan) Bhai founded the Cine Artist Welfare Trust in 1991. Amrish Puri worked very hard for this. Whenever I had to go to some minister for land, Amrish Bhai used to come to my house at seven in the morning and take me along with him to the minister. We had to struggle a lot to get this place. Once we got the land, we organized several programs to collect money. I am very happy today.’
