Former Bollywood actress, Mamta Kulkarni has been hogging all the headlines since the news of her embarking on her spiritual journey broke out on January 24, 2025, at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. She was made the ‘Mahamandaleshwar’ in the Kinnar Akhara with the actress’ coronation ceremony. She reportedly performed the Pind Daan at the holy Sangam. However, days later, the former actress and Laxmi Narayan Tripathi were both removed from the Kinnar Akhara.
Mamta Kulkarni claps back at Baba Ramdev
Mamta Kulkarni has been at the centre of all the drama since she denounced her materialistic life and joined the Kinnar Akhara as the Mahamandaleshwar at Maha Kumbh Mela. Recently, the actress appeared on Aap Ki Adalat and targeted Baba Ramdev and Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham with her remarks. Aiming at Baba Ramdev, the former actress stated that the former should fear Mahakal and Mahakali after Baba Ramdev questioned the process by which Mamta was appointed the Mahamandaleshwar. He stated:
“One does not attain sainthood in a day; it requires years of rigorous penance. Nowadays, I see people being randomly given the title of Mahamandaleshwar. This is not how it works.”
