Mamta Kulkarni's post-Bollywood life was spent pretty much away from the public eye, till her name cropped up in a drug racket a few years ago. Kulkarni is said to have become a yogini after leaving the Hindi film industry, and then married Kenya-based businessman Vicky Goswami. Her husband was named by the Thane police as one of the people involved in supplying ephedrine for illicit manufacture of methamphetamine to a Rs crore international drug racket.
A day ago, a non-bailable arrest warrant was issued against Mamta Kulkarni and her husband Vicky Goswami. Let me tell you, he was out in two months. The reason behind his arrest was not because he was involved in drug trafficking. Instead, it was a family dispute and Vicky just happened to get dragged into it. There is very little chance that you have lived through Bollywood of the roaring 90s and never knew who Mamta Kulkarni was.
We take a look at some of the best photos of Mamta Kulkarni. Popularly known as the Sex Siren of the 90s, this sultry actor tasted stardom and then went on to be nearly wiped off from public memory before surfacing years later in a drug racket. Mamta Kulkarni, in , is being hunted for her alleged involvement in a Rs crore drug racket along with her husband Vicky Goswami.
The couple is said to be absconding, with the police trying to locate Goswami and Kulkarni. Mamta Kulkarni made her Bollywood debut in , with the film Tirangaa. The movie won her the Fresh Face of the Year award. It was this photo of hers on the cover of a magazine that made her a star almost overnight, in addition to stirring up a massive controversy.
She is more known for her sensuous songs than her acting. The relation between Kulkarni and Santoshi went bitter, leading to Santoshi first dropping her from the film, then apparently re-casting her after gangster Chota Rajan arm-twisted him into doing so.
China Gate sank into oblivion, with people remembering only the song Chhamma Chhamma that was picturised on Urmila Matondkar. This bitterness between Santoshi and Kulkarni is said to have rung the death-knell for Mamta Kulkarni's Bollywood career.
The actor starred in a handful of forgettable films after China Gate, and then disappeared from Bollywood altogether after featuring in the film Kabhi Tum Kabhi Hum.
