Mamta Kulkarni DENIES paying Rs 10 crore to become Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara: 'My bank accounts are frozen...'
The Kinnar Akhada recently removed Mamta Kulkarni and Laxmi Narayan Tripathi from their positions as Mahamandaleshwar due to internal tensions. Kulkarni’s appointment faced backlash because of her film career and criminal history, leading to divisions within the Akhada. The decision sparked controversy and debates within the community.
Recently in conversation with Rajat Sharma on Aap Ki Adalat, Mamta denied rumours about paying Rs 10 crore to become Mahamandaleshwar, stating she doesn't even have Rs 1 crore. She clarified that her bank accounts are frozen, and she had to borrow Rs 2 lakh as dakshina to offer to her guru when she was appointed.

Mamta further shared that her three apartments have been left in poor condition, infested with termites, and have not been opened in 23 years due to financial struggles. She also claimed that a CBI official added her name to a case to gain a promotion but was later removed from his position. The High Court eventually dismissed the case.

When asked about her studies of Vedas and scriptures as part of her journey to becoming Mahamandaleshwar, Mamta Kulkarni responded by reciting mantras loudly. She did not directly address the question but instead demonstrated her spiritual side in this way.
