Actress Mamta Kulkarni talks about her return to Mumbai after 25 years and her relationship with drug mafia Vicky Goswami. He said that Vicky had called him to meet him for the first time while he was in jail. Till 2016, she was in touch with Vicky. After this he never tried to contact Vicky.
Mamta further said that she has not returned to Mumbai to work in Bollywood. Nor does she want to make a comeback as an actress.
Mamta said- I had no relation with the drug world, I was only related to Vicky.
While talking to news agency ANI, Mamta said- I have no connection with the world of D (drugs). I have never met these people. Yes, I was associated with Vicky Goswami. My spiritual journey began in 1996. At that very moment a guru came into my life.
When Vicky was in Dubai jail, he called me to meet him. When I met him, I spent 12 years. Then I became busy in meditation and worship. By the time he came out of jail in 2012, all my desires were gone. There was nothing left, whether to love or marry.
I had decided that until he comes out, I will not go back to India. Then he went to Kenya and I came to India for the Kumbh Mela around 20212-13. I went straight from Dubai to Allahabad (now Prayagraj) and came back to Dubai for 10 days.
Mamta said- Last time I spoke to Vicky was in 2016.
Mamta further said- Vicky went back to Kenya. Once or twice I went to meet him and came back to Dubai. He had already been charged in Kenya. I was not with him during that time. Even now I am not in touch with him. I last contacted him in 2016.
Mamta had termed the news of marriage with Vicky as false.
In 2017, Thane Police had issued a non-bailable warrant against Mamta Kulkarni and drug mafia Vicky Goswami in a drug smuggling case. Vicky was later extradited to America by Kenya.
There were also reports that Mamta and Vicky had got married. However, Mamta had termed the news of marriage as a rumour. He had said- I had never married anyone nor am I married now. It is true that I love Vicky, but she must also know that now my first love is God.
