Earlier, in an interaction with media, Laxmi Narayan had spoken about Mamta Kulkarni being in touch with her and the process of becoming Mahamandleshwar. “Kinnar akhada is going to make Mamta Kulkarni (former Bollywood actress) a Mahamandleshwar. She has been named as Shri Yamai Mamta Nandgiri. As I am talking here, all the rituals are underway. She has been in touch with Kinnar Akhada and me for the last one and a half years. She is allowed to perform the character of any devotional figure if she wants as we do not prohibit anyone from performing their art,” Laxmi Narayan said.
