Mamta Kulkarni Biography

was born in a Marathi-speaking household, and lived at Yari Road, Versova, Andheri West, along with two sisters, Mithila and Moulina.

Nothwithstanding Mamta's Marathi accent, and her inability to speak fluent English, she did land several roles in Bollywood flicks, starting in 1992 with Tiranga, and thereafter in Karan Arjun, Sabse Bada Khiladi, Baazi, until the 2002 release of Kahbhi Tum Kabhi Hum. In role in Aashiq Awara opposite Sharmila Tagore's son, Saif Ali Khan, got her an 'New Face' award from Filmfare & Lux.

In most of her films she is shown as a glamorous, sexy, song-and-dance girl. She did try to change this in Raj Kumar Santoshi's Chinagate, but the movie flopped, and this, amongst other misunderstandings, led to souring of relationships between Mamta and Santoshi.

It was during 1993 that Mamta created controversy by appearing topless, albeit with her arms crossed across her breasts, in the September issue of 'Stardust'. This angered several conservative groups, leading to her her arrest, subsequent conviction by the courts in the year 2000 and a fine Rs.15,000/-.

She was involved in another controversy by appearing in Court wearing an Islamic Burkha - incurring the wrath of Islamic groups.

Controversy again followed her when she appeared on a stage show in 1997 at the invitation of a Bihar-based Legislator, who was subsequently arrested for his involvement in a scam. Mamta has denied her involvement in this scam.

Her natural beauty and outspokenness sparked jealousies and fears amongst other leading ladies, thus leading to considerable diatribe between herself and other actresses, Urmila Matondkar in particular.

It cannot be denied that Mamta is breathtakingly beautiful, and deserves a second chance in movies. Although she has re-located in the U.S., she continues to have many fans, who wish her well, and hope she makes a comeback someday

Mamta Kulkarni Biography

Mamta Mukhund Kulkarni was born in 20 April, 1972 in Mumbai. She is a former Bollywood Actress.

She gained fame after posing topless (but with her arms crossed over her breasts) for a photograph that appeared on the cover of Stardust, a popular Indian film magazine in September, 1993. She was charged under India's obscenity laws. She was under attack from both conservative religious groups, and women's groups.
Mamta lashed out at protesters, calling them hypocrites but was finally convicted in July 2000, and was fined Rs 15,000. She appeared in court in a burqa to evade photographers.This caused yet another controversy which led to death threats and protests from the local Islamic community.

Mamta Kulkarni's career was not a happy one. Her detractors claim that she could never fit into the class-conscious industry because of her inability to speak fluent English. However, the other view is that the actress's brazen outspokenness antagonised her colleagues. Mamta Kulkarni, was reportedly taunted as being a 'vern' (a derogatory term, short for vernacular) by some assumedly well-heeled actresses because of her broad Marathi accent.

Press interviews in which she attacked other actresses, and was attacked in return, worsened the matter further. In 1997, she was reportedly paid a large amount to perform at a private function by a legislator from Bihar, who was later arrested after investigations into the Fodder Scam case. Kulkarni was interrogated, but she denied any knowledge of the legislator's antecedents.

Mamta Kulkarni made her Bollywood film debut in the 1992 movie "Tiranga". In 1993 she starred opposite Saif Ali Khan in "Aashiq Awara" which won her a Filmfare Lux New Face Award .

She appeared in number of films like "Karan Arjun" (1995), "Sabse Bada Khiladi" (1995) and" Baazi" (1995) which did well at the box office. However most of her roles involved only a little more than being a love interest to the leading man of the films or glamourous dance sequences, projecting her as a sex symbol.She hardly had anything to do in the movies except a few dance sequences.

Mamta Kulkarni had regretted of being typecasted as an item girl. Her luck seemed to take a favourable turn when Rajkumar Santoshi, in whose earlier movie "Ghatak" she had a cameo appearance, cast her as the female lead in his 1998 movie China Gate.China Gate was the remake of "The Magnificent Seven". In a deglamourised role and sharing screen space with some of Hindi cinemas finest actors, she had the perfect opportunity to showcase her acting talent.

However, things did not go as planned. Relations between Santoshi and the actress soured, and rumours started circulating that Mamta was dropped from the movie, and reinstated only after gangster Chhota Rajan intervened on her behalf. The movie was finally released but it was also a huge flop.

Furthermore, the only song in the movie, the item number "Chamma Chamma", was picturised on Urmila Matondkar, although Kulkarni had a good reputation with such numbers. To worsen Mamta's pain , the song turned out to be a chartbuster, and was even used in Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge!, and greatly increased Urmila's popularity.

Mamta Kulkarni got furious with the turn of events and lashed out at Santoshi, accusing him of cutting her screen time because she had refused his advances. Rajkumar Santoshi denied all rumours related to the movie, and the matter was given a quiet burial. This controversy proved to be the death blow to Kulkarni's career. She only appeared in a handful of movies after that, and new offers dried up. So atlast she had to quit movies.

So she moved to New York City after she married a NRI.She lives in New York City currently with her husband.
