Mumbai: Days after resigning, former Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni has rejoined as Mahamandaleswar of Kinnar Akhara.
Confirming her return as the Mahamandaleswar of Kinnar Akhara, Mamta on Friday shared a video message in which she explained the reason behind taking this step.
The former actress said that Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi rejected her resignation and thus, she has now decided to continue serving Sanatan Dharma under the guidance of her guru.
“Two days ago, some people made false allegations against my guru, Dr Acharya Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi. In response, I resigned in a moment of emotion. However, my guru did not accept my resignation. The offerings I presented upon becoming a Mahamandaleshwar, including the royal umbrella, staff, and other sacred items, will remain dedicated to the Akhada. I am grateful to my guru for reinstating me. Moving forward, I dedicate my life to Kinnar Akhada and Sanatan Dharma,” Mamta said in the video.

Mamta had resigned from the post of Mahamandaleshwar of the Kinnar Akhara on February 10.
“I am resigning from my post of Mahamandaleshwar of the Kinnar Akhada. I have been a ‘sadhvi’ for the last 25 years, and I will remain one,” she said.
Mamta was conferred the title of Mahamandaleshwar on January 24 during the ongoing Mahakumbh 2025.
