Mamta Kulkarni confronts Shah Rukh Khan on set

A former Bollywood actress, Mamta Kulkarni, has recently made headlines for her bold behavior towards two of the industry's biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. During the filming of the song "Bhangra Pa Le" in 1995, Mamta lost her cool and scolded them for not rehearsing properly. She expressed frustration that her perfect shot was ruined because of their interference. Mamta was a prominent actress in the 1990s, competing with famous names like Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, and Kajol. She gained fame after starring alongside Shah Rukh and Salman in the hit film "Karan Arjun." Over the years, she appeared in successful films like "Aashiq Awara" and "Krantiveer." However, Mamta's career faced a serious setback in 2013 when she was linked to a gangster and later became a suspect in a large drug case. In 2024, the charges against her were dismissed due to a lack of evidence. Following this, she left the film industry and relocated to Kenya, where she pursued yoga. In early 2025, Mamta returned to India and was appointed as a Mahamandaleshwar in a religious group, but her stint was short-lived as she was expelled just seven days later.
