The way the food would look. And she directed it like a dream along with our producer @kaachua! Then I met the most amazing food team @thefoodkonnect & @anushakay curated the recipes and we were set," Mini added.## The first person to visit her show was filmmaker Farah Khan.

Mini Mathur recalls hosting 'Indian Idol'

Mumbai, April 5 (IANS) A Former VJ and actress Mini Mathur on Sunday went down memory lane and reminisced her experience anchoring popular singing reality TV show "Indian Idol".## "' Indian idol' was India's first reality show...None of us had any idea that it would capture India's imagination and go on to be a rage! I was straight out of 5 years as an MTV VJ, I had just delivered Vivaan... I was totally up to host a new international format but completely unprepared for being so emotionally involved with the show. Because it was a first at so many levels- pure, organic, truthful, naked. There was no pretension, no gimmicks or manipulation. It was also the first time viewers were involved in voting for the winner," she wrote.## Mini also shared how she "was chased by people to know more about the contestants (who I'm still close to) I traveled to remote corners of the country meeting people with such touching stories".## She added: "I connected with truck drivers, farmers, students, vegetable sellers, housewives at the same time as A-list stars, music maestros and celebrities. I was the receptacle to the great Indian "HOPE"."## Mini had hosted six seasons of the show. Recalling her journey, she also thanked her former co-host Hussain Kuwajerwala and the judges, including Farah Khan, Sonu Nigam, and Alisha Chinai.## " I discovered a whole new side of myself with the 6 seasons I hosted. Found some pics from season 3- the season in which Prashant Tamang won. A big shout out to @huseinkk one of the BEST co-hosts I've ever worked with! And to the lovely @farahkhankunder with who I had the best time on the show with @sonunigamofficial .. my eternal favorite and @alishachinaiofficial Javed Saab, Udit Ji and annual and the OG team," Mini posted.## On the acting front, Mini recently wooed the audience with her performance in the web show "Mind the Malhotras".## Stay tuned...
