Television anchor Mini Mathur who became popular and achieved fame from anchoring 'Indian Idol's first three season
and went on hosting other reality shows.
When asked if she ever geared up for acting, she laughs and
quips, "When I stepped in television many years ago I took a conscious decision not to do television soap. Acting is not
my cup of tea."
She also mentions that as she hosted so many shows and she is very perfect in that she
carries her own way of doing and presenting all the show in a different manner. Also she adds, "If somebody else can do
the show then I don't want to be a part of it that's my formula."
She was also seen in 'Jhalak Dhikla Jaa Season 2 as a contestant but when it comes to participating in other reality
shows like 'Big Boss' or 'Meethi Choorie' she finds it crap and says, "I did 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' because I wanted to try
my hands at dancing and it was a very different show. Participating in 'Jhalak ...!' was not like participating in 'Meethi
Choori' or 'Big Boss'.
I don't participate in crap." Mentioning the reason she retorts, "If I find quality in a
reality show then I don't mind doing it then why I choose 'Jhalak......!' because I was dancing with a choreographer and
also I learnt many other dance forms. I do get offers for reality show as a contestant but I'm a very private person and I
don't like spreading my space out on reality TV.
I don't like to promote myself." Mini also discloses that
doing all these kind of shows creates a different impression on the audience. Currently Mini is busy hosting two shows
and she is only focusing in hosting but not acting, but she mentions acting as her second option of which she is still
thinking of.
Well! We hope that very soon rather than an anchor we would see her as an actor in Bollywood!!!
