Mumbai: Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni has shared that she was offered a web series but hasn’t given her nod yet.
The actress, who returned to India a few days ago for a short trip, spoke to IANS and shared that she is still mulling over the offer.
She told IANS, “I got an offer for a web series, but I have not said yes to it as of now. I am thinking right now. I got the offer one-and-a-half years ago. However, I have put it on hold and didn’t give a thought to it as I did not go into much detail.”
The actress returned to Mumbai after 24 years and said she was really overwhelmed. She shared her journey in detail in a selfie video on her Instagram handle, which goes by the name “mamtakulkarniofficial____.”
In the clip, the former actress is heard saying, “Hi guys, this is Mamata Kulkarni. I just came to India, Bombay, Mumbai, Amchi, Mumbai after 25 years.”
She shared that she is “really nostalgic about the whole journey that I went on out of India in the year 2000, and exactly in 2024, I’m here.”
“And I’m really overwhelmed, and I don’t know how to express it. I’m emotional. In fact, when the flight landed, or before the flight landed, I was seeing on my left and right. And I saw my country from the top after 24 years and I became emotional. I had tears in my eyes. I kept my foot outside International Mumbai Airport, and I again became extremely overwhelmed.”
However, Mamta did not share what made her come back to India.
Her last Bollywood film was released in 2002.
Her 1995 film ‘Karan Arjun’, which also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Kajol, was re-released in Hindi cinema on November 22.
The film revolves around the story of the two titular brothers who seek revenge from their greedy uncle for murdering their father but are killed by him and are reincarnated to complete the revenge.
Fame and controversies
Mamta was born in Mumbai to middle-class Maharashtrian Brahmin parents. She made her Hindi film debut with ‘Tiranga’, which was a massive hit. She went on to act in quite a few popular films of the nineties and also received popular awards for her roles.
In the late 1990s, she met Vicky Goswami in Dubai, who was involved in an illegal drug racket. Later, due to Mamta’s association with Vicky, in 2016, the Thane police named her as one of the accused in a drug case. Mamata left India in 2000 and admitted to her friendship with Vicky Goswami but said she never married him. She has also denied her connection with any drug trafficking and has turned to spirituality for over a decade.
