Maha Kumbh 2025: Actress Mamta Kulkarni becomes 'Mahamandleshwar' of Kinnar Akhara

Former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni has been appointed as the 'Mahamandleshwar' of Kinnar Akhara. This development marks a significant turn in her life, as she had earlier quit the film industry.

As Mahamandleshwar, Mamta Kulkarni will hold a prestigious position in the Kinnar Akhara, which is known for its spiritual and cultural significance. Her new role was formalized at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, where she performed the Pind Daan ritual at the Triveni Sangam and was given the spiritual name Shri Yamai Mamta Nand Giri.

This new chapter in Mamta Kulkarni's life comes after her successful acting career in the 1990s, during which she appeared in several popular Hindi films, including "Aashiq Awara," "Karan Arjun," and "China Gate".
