Asked why she had once posed semi-nude for the cover of Stardust magazine, Mamta Kulkarni replied, “I was then studying in ninth standard. I was shown a picture of Demi Moore by the Stardust people, which I did not find to be obscene. I had also once said at one time, “I am still a virgin.” Since I did not know anything about sex, I didn’t know anything about nudity. In the last 23 years, I have not seen any pornography.”
On being asked why she used to dance to bawdy lyrics in films, Mamta Kulkarni replied, “Like Madhuri Dixit, we as dancers do not go through lyrics or lines. Our sole focus is on our dance steps.”
