"I am resigning from the post of Mahamandaleshwar of Kinnar Akhara. I have been a Sadhvi since childhood and will remain so in the future also."
Mamta Kulkarni said- I want to end the controversy.
Mamta further said that the post of Mahamandaleshwar was given to me only as an honour. I am resigning so that the controversy regarding this ends. She further said that I have been a Sadhvi from the beginning and will remain so in future also and it is not right to speak ill of the Akharas.
