The actor recently appeared along with Varsha Usgaonkar and Sangeeta Bijlani on The Kapil Sharma Show where she spoke about her career and several other unknown anecdotes from her life, including the rumour that her father had shot her.

Ram Teri Ganga Maili and its music became a hit. Mandakini even received a Filmfare nomination as Best Actress for her performance. The film is known for its bold scenes involving Mandakini, one where she is breastfeeding and another where she is seen bathing underneath a waterfall. In the show, host Kapil Sharma shared that the waterfall from the film which was in Uttarakhand was named after her. The two also talked about other parts of her life including strange rumours and her married life.

The actor told Kapil on the show, "There was a news spread that my father shot me. When I reached the sets everybody came to me asking whether I was okay. I had no clue why they were all so concerned about me and later I came to know about the rumour."

The actor was last seen in the film Zordaar in 1996 with Govinda. She also appeared in the films Dance Dance, Kahan Hai Kanoon and Pyaar Karke Dekho. Mandakini launched her song, the single Maa O Maa, last August.
