Key Questions Answered
Mamta Kulkarni is facing severe trolling on social media after a viral video emerged showing her attending an event in a glamorous avatar and dancing to her own song. Critics and social media users called her a hypocrite, questioning her lifestyle shift after she previously claimed to have renounced worldly attachments and taken sannyas.
Mamta Kulkarni returned to India and participated in the Mahakumbh held in Prayagraj, where she renounced worldly attachments, took sannyas, and adopted the name 'Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri'. She was honored with the title of Mahamandaleshwar by the Kinnar Akhara, but intense opposition and pressure from the saint community prompted the akhara's founder, Rishi Ajay Das, to remove her from the post.
During the 1990s, Mamta Kulkarni's career suffered after her name was linked with Vicky Goswami, who had underworld connections, prompting her to leave the country. Years later in 2015, she was also named as an accused in a major international drug trafficking case involving ephedrine supply, though the Bombay High Court ultimately dismissed the charges and labeled the case baseless in 2024.
