Mini Mathur has addressed speculation surrounding her recent comment on an influencer’s social media reel discussing award show hosting, clarifying that her remark was not directed at Alia Bhatt.
The conversation began after an influencer shared a reel criticising the trend of actors hosting award shows and suggested that professional hosts should return to anchoring such events. Responding to the video, Mini commented, “Thank you. Someone finally said it (sic).” Her reaction quickly drew attention online, with some social media users interpreting it as a reference to Alia Bhatt’s recent appearance as a host at an award function.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Mini clarified the context behind her comment and explained what she was responding to in the video. She said, “To just create stories out of nothing is what the internet does. I will tell you why I commented… the creator had an interesting take on why award shows insist on using actors as hosts and then later complain about them falling short of their 'expectations'. It is not their main skill set, so why the expectations? It’s like asking a host to act at gunpoint. I only commented on that."
She also dismissed speculation suggesting that her remark was aimed at Alia Bhatt. Addressing the rumours directly, Mini said, “It is all nonsense. I love Alia. On top of this, I have not even seen the show these people are talking about on the internet.”
Mini Mathur has previously hosted several television shows, including Tol Mol Ke Bol, Indian Idol, Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao, and Wife Bina Life, and is widely recognised for her work as a presenter across entertainment formats.
Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is currently filming Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal and is scheduled to release in January next year.
