Mamta Kulkarni reveals she did semi-nude photoshoot due to lack of ‘sexual consciousness’: ‘I was shown a picture of Demi Moore’

Mamta Kulkarni was also asked about the bold lyrics in some of the songs she performed. Responding to this, she said, “As Madhuri Dixit or anyone else, as dancers we don’t hear the lyrics or lines. Our sole focus is on our dance steps. I didn’t pay attention to lyrics.”

Mamta also explained why she agreed to feature in the iconic item song “Koi Jaye To Le Aaye” from Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ghatak. The former actor revealed that she had just returned from a world tour with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan before shooting the song. As a result, while performing, she felt as though she was on stage. “The director Raj Kumar Santoshi requested me to do it. The movie was lying canned for seven years because of its heroine Meenakshi Seshadri, who got married and the film wasn’t getting buyers. I went through my dance number as if I was doing a stage show, in which I was good at,” she said.

While Mamta Kulkarni’s association with the Kinnar Akhara made headlines, the organisation recently removed her from the position of Mahamandaleshwar just days after it was announced. Rishi Ajay Das, the founder of Kinnar Akhada, shared the decision was taken after growing concerns over tensions within the religious organisation.
