Mamta Kulkarni, a prominent 1990s Bollywood actress known for her bold roles, has been implicated in a massive ₹2,000 crore drug trafficking case that has shocked the film industry and law enforcement alike.
Her alleged involvement with international drug smuggler Vicky Goswami, whom she reportedly married while he was imprisoned in Kenya, has unveiled a sprawling narcotics network operating globally. This case highlights the murky intersections between Bollywood and the underworld.
"Mamta Kulkarni's name surfaced in 2016 in connection with a ₹2,000 crore drug trafficking case," reports confirm, underscoring the scale of the operation.
This scandal is not isolated. Bollywood's ties with the criminal underworld have a long history. For instance, Mandakini, famed for Raj Kapoor's Ram Teri Ganga Maili, was rumored to be linked with Dawood Ibrahim, India's most wanted don. Though unconfirmed, photographs fueled media speculation.
Similarly, Monica Bedi's relationship with gangster Abu Salem ended in their arrest in Portugal for traveling with fake documents, illustrating the dangerous liaisons between film personalities and criminals.
Even earlier, actress Sona was romantically linked to Mumbai smuggler Haji Mastan, a figure who dominated the city's docks and smuggling scene in the 1970s.
"The Bollywood-underworld nexus has been a recurring theme, with actresses like Mandakini, Monica Bedi, and Sona entwined with notorious criminals," analysts note.
The Mamta Kulkarni case exposes the darkest underbelly of Bollywood, revealing how glamour and crime have often intersected, with narcotics trafficking now at the forefront.
Authorities continue to investigate the full extent of the network, signaling a crackdown on the nexus between cinema and crime.
