Yesterday, reports came in that Mamta Kulkarni, the former Bollywood actor, has been appointed as Mahamandleshwar of the Kinnar Akhada during the Maha Kumbh last evening. Now, as Mamta has embarked on this new journey, transgender Kathavachak Jagatguru Himangi Sakhi Maa has spoken about this decision. Himangi questioned the credibility of this decision and talked about Mamta's controversial past.
In conversation with ANI, Himangi said, "Mamta Kulkarni has been made Mahamandleshwar by the Kinnar Akhada for publicity. Society knows her past very well. She was even jailed in the past in connection with drug cases. Suddenly, she arrives in India, participates in the Maha Kumbh, and is given the position of Mahamandleshwar. This needs investigation."
