Mamta Kulkarni is one of the most popular actresses of yesteryears. She was a model and actress who once shared the screen with megastars in popular films like Baazi, Andolan, and Sabse Bada Khiladi. Her reputation was tarnished after she got embroiled in a Rs. 2000 crore drug traffic controversy with drug lord, Vicky Goswami, which led her to leave the country. Now, Mamta has made a triumphant return to India after 25 years of exile.
Mamta Kulkarni reveals if she is planning to return to films
Now that Mamta Kulkarni is back in Mumbai, her fans anticipate her return to film. In a conversation with ANI, Mamta revealed that she has no plans to join Bollywood. Yes, she is back in Mumbai after 25 years, but not to make a comeback as an actress. In Mamta’s words:
“I have not come back for Bollywood and I am not planning to make a return as an actress..”
For those who may not be aware, in 2017, Thane Police issued a non-bailable warrant against Mamta Kulkarni and drug lord, Vicky Goswami in connection with a drug haul case. The duo’s names surfaced in the investigation, leading to the filing of a chargesheet. In January, Goswami, Ibrahim, Baktash Akasha, and Gulam Hussein were extradited from Kenya to the US. They were all arrested in November 2014 in a sting operation by the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), who was posing as a Colombian drug dealer.

Only days after her return to India, Mamta displayed remarkable courage by sitting for a candid interview with CNN-News18. Her intention was to dispel long-standing rumours and clear her image after all these years. Mamta opened up about her tumultuous past, firmly distancing herself from Vicky’s illicit activities. When asked about her relationship with Vicky, Mamta responded with unwavering determination:
“I am not married to Vicky, he is not my husband. I am still single. I have not married anyone. Vicky and I have had a relationship but I blocked him 4 years ago.”
In the interview, Mamta confirmed that while she and Vicky dated in the past, they were never married. She went on to explain that despite their association, she was never involved in his drug-related activities. The former model/actress also vouched for Vicky, describing him as a man with a good heart. However, Mamta also made it clear that she does not condone his actions and has distanced herself from him. Mamta was heard saying:
“Vicky is a good man, he has a good heart. Everyone from the film industry used to visit him, so I also went to meet him. But I was also the last person from the film industry to meet Vicky. When I came to know about his truth, I left him. He was in Dubai jail. I started meditating to get him out of jail. Vicky came out of jail in 2012. I met him in 2016. After that, he was arrested again. He is my past now. I have left him.”
