Question: Has the Indian actress and sex symbol of the 1990s in Bollywood, Mamta Kulkarni ever been nominated, let alone won a Best Actress award?
Answer: In a word; No!
In recent public appearances on TV shows, the notorious Indian celebrity -- calling her an actress is a stretch -- Mamta Kulkarni has been hyping her own past and calling herself a 'legend'. Clearly, we have varying definition of the term.
Mamta Kulkarni has never been nominated for a Best Actress award (such as Filmfare Award for Best Actress or similar major categories for lead performances). Reliable sources like her ardent fan pages, IMDb awards section, and Filmfare-related records consistently show her only recognized nomination and win was the Filmfare Award for Lux New Face of the Year (now known as Best Female Debut) in 1994 for her performance in her debut film, Aashik Aawara. This was a debut/new face award, not a Best Actress category, and is usually handed out to photogenic newbies and non-actors the likes of Twinkle Khanna, Ananya Panday and the infamous Ms Kuklarni.
There are no records of nominations for Filmfare Best Actress (or equivalents like Screen Awards, IIFA, etc.) in her career, which spanned the early to mid-1990s with films like Karan Arjun, Sabse Bada Khiladi, and China Gate. She may have had box-office successes and danced with controversy with her bold interviews and semi-nude magazine covers, but the now-retired actress has never been a serious contender despite proclaiming to the media that she had a greater following than Madhuri Dixit.
In another word; Delulu.
Now aged 54, the infamous actor appears in front of the media having eschewed cinema for religion, but several critics have noted that she's using religion to mask some serious allegations. She can try to camoflage her crimes with saffron drapes, but the long arm of the law is eventually going to reach her.
