From cinema to retirement!
By smearing ashes on my body… While singing, Madhuri Dixit in a saffron colored suit spreads her charming style on the film screen, in the sixties, Sadhna sings while roaming on the banks of the pond in a saffron saree – Wherever I look, there is my lover in front of me… love made me strong… burnt my body, lit my mind… Or Hema Malini sings songs sometimes in saffron and sometimes in plain clothes with the young Manoj Kumar who became a priest in the film Sanyasi, then believe me, a unique world of love and spirituality is visible on the silver screen. It can fascinate anyone. Actually, this was the reel life character of the stars, but there were many such actors in our cinema whose real life is also full of spiritual thrill and attraction. Mamta Kulkarni is a fresh name in this list. After becoming a Sadhvi, the actress’s new name is Shri Yamai Mamtanand Giri. She has come to carry forward in her own style the legacy of Bollywood, the stream of which was already present here.
This is the same Mamta Kulkarni, who made headlines sometimes by getting hot photos published in film magazines and sometimes due to allegations of underworld connections, but that silver screen beauty has left Mayanagari and is now the new Sanyasin of the world of sages and saints. After following the rituals of reciting Vedic mantras, she has entered a new body. He also took bath in Triveni and donated his body. Obviously, when a beautiful woman becomes a Sanyasin, she will definitely create a new sensation. This is the reason why many pictures of Mahakumbh of Prayagraj are viral on social media because of some glamorous images, in that race Mamata has left everyone behind. Now she is the Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara and is engrossed in the world of spirituality. However, this is a matter of Mamta’s personal life. He is moving forward on the path of his independent thinking.
Mamta claims- will not return to films
However, Mamta Kulkarni is not the only film artiste who has dedicated herself to religion and spirituality on the path of renunciation. Mamta seems to be taking forward the hidden spiritual tradition of the world of cinema. That tradition where an artist’s personal life and ideology are also a part of the same heritage, where there are no dividing lines of religion or caste. This is why the world of saint society and celebrity is known. Mamta says that many years ago she had given up worldly illusions and donned saffron. Now she has become a proper Sadhvi. It is difficult for him to return to Bollywood. But if we look into history, many film stars have not lived up to their promises. These artists first left films, adopted retirement but then went back to the world of films. What will be Mamta’s stance in future? For now, her statement should be considered as a mere claim.
Vinod Khanna, Mahesh Bhatt, Vijay Anand came back
It is a famous fact about actor Vinod Khanna and director-producers Mahesh Bhatt and Vijay Anand in the Hindi film industry that they also visited the world of Osho i.e. Acharya Rajneesh. Dressed in saffron and garlanded Osho Commune and enjoyed the unique world there. Vinod Khanna was influenced by Osho’s thoughts since 1975. From 1982 to 1987, he lived in Rajneesh’s ashram in America and was called Swami Vinod Bharti. Vinod Khanna sought refuge with Rajneesh when his film career was at its peak. Rajesh Khanna’s career was affected by the arrival of Amitabh Bachchan but Vinod Khanna was giving him a tough competition due to his strong personality and acting. Like him, Mahesh Bhatt and Dev Anand’s brother Vijay Anand had also become a monk in Osho’s ashram. But after some time, he became disillusioned with the world of Osho and returned to the world of light, camera and action of films.
Neeta Mehta and Suchitra Sen
Raj Kapoor’s relative Premnath also returned to films
Character actors Premnath, Raj Kapoor and Prem Chopra were relatives. Premnath was called a very handsome actor in his early days. Premnath had a memorable romantic role in Raj Kapoor and Narsingh’s film Barsaat. It is said that at one time Raj Kapoor used to charge more fees than Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar. Actually Premnath wanted to become a hero but his hero image did not work well in front of Dilip Kumar. There came a time when his films started flopping and he became a saint in despair. Wearing saffron for many years, he distanced himself from the world of films. But he could not remain in the guise of a saint for long. In the later period, he played the role of a character and sometimes a villain in many films like Badal, Bobby, Johnny Mera Naam and Jani Dushman.
Suchitra Sen and Neeta Mehta did not return to cinema
However, among all the film artists who distanced themselves from the world of acting and glamor and participated in the world of religion and spirituality, not all of them have a track record of returning home. There are many such artists who wore saffron robes throughout their life and remained devotees of God. Suchitra Sen, the Hindi and Bengali film actress of the sixties and seventies, cannot be forgotten in this regard. Suchitra Sen had laudably acted in the much-talked-about Hindi film Aandhi with Sanjeev Kumar. Apart from this, his famous films include Devdas of 1955, Bombay Ka Babu of 1960, Mamta of 1966. After active acting innings for almost two and a half decades, he announced his retirement from films in 1978 and retired and dedicated the last years of his life to the Seva Ashram of Ramakrishna Mission.
Like Sutrita Sen, the famous actress of Hindi and Gujarati films, Neeta Mehta had also said goodbye to the glittering world of cinema. Her personality was that of an actress as well as a writer. He had acted in about 40 films like Rishta Kagaz Ka, Ponga Pandit, Hero etc. In this list, Aashiqui actress Anu Aggarwal, who has worked with Rahul Roy, Anupama’s Anagha Bhosle and Diya Aur Baati Hum artist Nupur Alankar, while Barkha Madan, who has worked with Akshay Kumar in Khiladiyon Ke Khiladi, has left the world of acting and pursued spiritual pursuits. Path taken. At present these actresses and models have not returned to the screen.

Mind is a god, mind is God… no one is bigger than your mind… your mind should be called a mirror…
