Mumbai: Controversial actress of the 1990s, Mamta Kulkarni, who lived a life of anonymity after a doomed career in Bollywood, is making news once again. The lady has reportedly married drug mafia Vicky Goswami, who was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1997 in Dubai. However, he was released in 2012, on the grounds that he had transformed into a better human being. Goswami is believed to have converted to Islam, during his jail term and had a Nikkah with Mamta, who was handling his real estate business. An international publication has been following this case very closely. An article published in the aforementioned paper read, “A life sentence in Dubai is in effect 25 years, but prisoners can apply for early release on various grounds. Apart from good conduct, these include learning to recite passages from the Qu`ran or converting to Islam. To strengthen his clemency appeal, Goswami converted to Islam and was married according to Islamic rites while incarcerated.” Mamta Kulkarni had drawn the ire of the moral police that objected to her posing topless for an entertainment magazine. She had also grabbed eyeballs by doing a topless scene in Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Karan Arjun’.
