Mamta Kulkarni, who was once a popular Bollywood actress, has now become Mahamandleshwar in the Kinnar Akhara. She has moved on from her controversial past and has adopted a spiritual life.

Mamta Kulkarni, a popular Bollywood actress, has now become Mahamandaleshwar. She adopted a spiritual life in the Kinnar Akhara. Many people are saying that how did she suddenly become Mahamandaleshwar, because to become Mahamandaleshwar, one has to first take initiation and after doing penance for a long period, one has to leave the worldly path of life. The rule of the Akharas is that the person who becomes Mahamandaleshwar must be a Sanyasi.

People are also saying that to become Mahamandleshwar, one should have the feeling of renunciation for worldly attachments. One should be away from family relations and should have knowledge of Vedas and Puranas. If you look at the life of Mamta Kulkarni, you will know that till some time ago, her life was full of controversies.

Marriage with drug mafia Vicky Goswami in Dubai!

It is alleged that in 2013 Mamta Kulkarni left the Hindi film industry and married drug mafia Vicky Goswami in Dubai. This is the same drug mafia who was jailed for 12 years for drug smuggling in Dubai. Although Mamta Kulkarni calls these allegations false, the truth is that in 2016 Mumbai Police had issued an arrest warrant against her in a drug smuggling case.

Mumbai Police had said that it had recovered drugs worth Rs 80 lakh from Mumbai, which was related to a company whose director was Mamta Kulkarni. Mamta Kulkarni herself says that she was in love with drug mafia Vicky Goswami and during this time she stayed away from India from the year 2000 to 2024.

Topless photoshoot, underworld connection!

When Mamta Kulkarni had not left the film industry, she was accused of having underworld connections. It is said that for a film, she had underworld criminals call the director. In the year 1993, Mamta Kulkarni did a topless photoshoot for a magazine, which caused a lot of uproar across the country. This is the reason why today people are surprised by Mamta Kulkarni becoming Mahamandaleshwar.

Why did she choose Kinnar Akhara to become Mahamandaleshwar?

Kinnar Akhara is different from the 13 major Akharas of Sanatan Dharma. This is the Akhara in which one can live a material life even after becoming a Sanyasi and it is not necessary to end worldly and family relationships to become Mahamandaleshwar and this is the reason why Mamta Kulkarni chose this Akhara and now she will be able to live as a Sanyasi even while living a material life. She will not have to live a life of renunciation in it
