Mamta Kulkarni Biography :

At the same time, she continued to be dogged by controversy. In 1997, she was reportedly paid a large amount to perform at a private function by a legislator from Bihar, who was later arrested after investigations into the Fodder Scam case. Kulkarni was interrogated, but she denied any knowledge of the legislator's antecedents. Mamta Kulkarni made her Bollywood film debut in the 1992 movie "Tiranga". In 1993 she starred opposite Saif Ali Khan in "Aashiq Awara" which won her a Filmfare Lux New Face Award. She went on to appear in more films such as "Karan Arjun" (1995), "Sabse Bada Khiladi" (1995) and "Baazi" (1995), which did well at the box office. However most of her roles involved only a little more than being a love interest to the leading man of the films or glamorous song-and-dance sequences, in keeping with her status as a sex symbol.

Mamta Kulkarni had expressed regret at being typecast as an item girl. Her luck seemed to have changed when Rajkumar Santoshi, in whose earlier movie "Ghatak" she had a cameo appearance, cast her as the female lead in his 1998 movie "China Gate", an ambitious remake of 'The Magnificent Seven'. In a deglamourized role and sharing screen space with some of Hindi cinemas finest actors, she had the perfect opportunity to showcase her acting talent. However, things did not go as planned. Relations between Santoshi and the actress soured, and rumors began circulating that Mamta Kulkarni was dropped from the movie, and reinstated only after gangster Chhota Rajan intervened on her behalf.
