Former actress Mamta Kulkarni has shared her thoughts on her experiences in the film industry and whether she would consider returning to it. In an interview with India Today, Mamta expressed that her recent appointment as Mahamandaleshwar of the Kinnar Akhada is akin to receiving an "Olympic medal." This honor was bestowed upon her during the Maha Kumbh.

Will Mamta Kulkarni work in films again

In discussing her potential return to the entertainment industry, Mamta expressed, "The thought of returning to films is beyond my imagination. It is entirely unfeasible for me at this point. The members of Kinnara Akhada embody the Ardhnareshwar form of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Attaining the title of Mahamandaleshwar within such an Akhada is akin to receiving an Olympic medal after 23 years of dedicated spiritual practice. This honor has been granted to me solely through the blessings of Goddess Adishakti. I chose to join the Kinnar Akhada because it symbolizes freedom, devoid of any constraints."

Mamta speaks about her career in the 1990s

She talked about her "years in the entertainment world and working with the biggest stars of the Hindi cinema". She added, "You need everything in life, including entertainment. You should acknowledge your needs. But spirituality is something that you can only achieve through luck. Siddhartha (Prince Siddhārtha Gautama who became Lord Buddha) saw everything in his life and then decided to change."

Mamta became Mahamandleshwar recently

Earlier on Friday, Mamta performed 'pind daan' at the Sangham Ghat in Prayagraj. Speaking to ANI, the former actor had said, "This was the order of Mahadev, Maha Kaali. This was the order of my Guru. They chose this day. I didn't do anything." Earlier in the day, Acharya Mahamandleshwar of Kinnar Akhada, Laxmi Narayan, announced that Mamta Kulkarni has embarked on a spiritual role as the Mahamandleshwar.

About Mamta's career

Mamta gained fame in the 1990s with her performances in hit films such as Karan Arjun and Baazi. She has worked with many stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan in her career. However, in the early 2000s, Mamta stepped away from Bollywood and moved abroad, leading a life away from the limelight.
