In 2019, Mamta Kulkarni launched her own fashion and style gallery, which promised to offer a range of stylish and affordable clothing and accessories. The gallery was heavily promoted on social media, with Kulkarni herself posting pictures and videos showcasing her designs. However, it soon became apparent that something was amiss.

The final wing of the story was the most modern. Rohan scrolled through forums and fan pages. Here, the "Fake Fashion and Style Gallery" took on a digital life. Fans had taken old, grainy screenshots and filtered them through AI upscalers and modern editing apps. They color-corrected the 90s grain, smoothed her skin to porcelain perfection, and placed her in backgrounds that didn't exist. This was the ultimate fake gallery—a digital reconstruction of a memory. The internet was rewriting her fashion history, stripping away the grit of the 90s and replacing it with a high-gloss, fake perfection that suited the Instagram era.
