Mamta Kulkarni fires back: "Baba Ram Dev should fear Mahakal, Dhirendra should ask his guru who I am"

Former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni has found herself at the center of a heated debate after receiving the title of Mahamandaleshwar at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. The spiritual honor, which is traditionally granted to revered saints and sages, was questioned by prominent spiritual figures Baba Ramdev and Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. However, Mamta did not hold back in responding to their skepticism.

In a recent appearance on the popular television show Aap Ki Adalat, Mamta took a strong stance against those questioning her spiritual credibility. Addressing Baba Ramdev’s criticism, she said, What should I even say to Baba Ramdev? He should fear Mahakal and Mahakali. Her remarks were a direct rebuttal to Ramdev’s earlier statement, where he questioned the process of her appointment and suggested that such titles should not be granted without due consideration.

Mamta also had firm words for Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham. She pointed out that she has dedicated over 25 years to meditation, emphasizing that her spiritual journey has been long and arduous.

"I have meditated for as long as he has been alive 25 years. He should ask his guru who I am and remain silent."

she stated, reinforcing the idea that sainthood is not an overnight achievement but a path of dedication and penance.

Her appointment as Mahamandaleshwar has not only been questioned by spiritual leaders but also led to her expulsion from the Kinnar Akhara. Rishi Ajay Das, the founder of the Akhara, stated that her title was granted without following proper religious traditions. As a result, she, along with Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi, was removed from the Akhara.

Mamta Kulkarni’s transformation from a Bollywood star to a spiritual figure has been nothing short of dramatic. Rising to fame in the 1990s with hit films like Karan Arjun, she was once a sought-after actress in the industry. However, she eventually stepped away from the limelight, embracing a life of spirituality. Despite her renunciation of worldly pleasures, controversies from her past including an alleged connection to a drug case continue to follow her.
