When her film Aashiq Awara came, her opposite in this film was Saif Ali Khan. This film was a hit and now there is a queue of films for Mamta.
Friends, if a person suddenly becomes successful then she becomes overconfident and in this overconfidence she makes some mistakes. The same thing happened with Mamta Kulkarni and the series of controversies started from here itself.

But when the film was released, Mamta’s role was cut down to a very small size and Urmila Matondkar was given more importance. Whereas only one song Chamma-Chhamma was shot on Urmila.
