topless mamta kulkarni

She gained fame after posing topless (but with her arms 


crossed over her breasts) for a photograph that appeared on 


the cover of Stardust, a popular Indian film magazine in 


September 1993. She was charged under India's obscenity 


laws, and found herself under attack from both conservative 


religious groups, and women's groups. The outspoken 


actress lashed out at protesters, calling them hypocrites.

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.

Kulkarni made her Bollywood film debut in the 1992 movie Tiranga. In 1993 she starred inAashiq Awara which won her a Filmfare Lux New Face Award. She went to appear in many other films such as Krantiveer (1994), Karan Arjun (1995), Sabse Bada Khiladi (1995) and Baazi (1995) which did well at the box office

Her luck seemed to have changed when Rajkumar Santoshi, in whose earlier movie Ghatak: Lethal (1996) she had a cameo appearance, cast her as the female lead in his 1998 movie China Gate, an ambitious remake of The Magnificent Seven

Relations between Santoshi and the actress soured, and rumours began circulating that Kulkarni was dropped from the movie, and reinstated only after gangster Chhota Rajan intervened on her behalf. When the movie was finally released, it was also a huge flop. Furthermore, the only song in the movie, the item number Chamma Chamma, was picturised on Urmila Matondkar, even though Kulkarni had built her reputation with such numbers. To add insult to injury, the song turned out to be a chartbuster, and was even used in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!, and greatly increased Urmila's popularity.

However, this proved to be the death blow to Kulkarni's career. She only appeared in a handful of movies after that, and new offers dried up. She quit movies after her last appearance in the 2002 film Kabhie Tum Kabhie Hum. Then she moved to New York City after she married an NRI.Mamta also did movies in Tamil,Telugu,Bengali and Malayalam.
