Did Mini Mathur Take A Dig At Alia Bhatt's Hosting Skills? Actress Reacts To Allegations

Alia Bhatt, one of the most loved actresses in town, often makes headlines for various reasons. Recently, she was trending on social media after her hosting videos from an award show surfaced online. Her fans loved her hosting skills; however, a section of people on the internet was seen trolling her. Many criticised her and called it “forced and fake.” The criticism has sparked a wider debate online, with many calling for a return to seasoned anchors. Amid the ongoing backlash, Mini Mathur’s reaction fuelled the conversation. Now the actress has broken her silence and revealed if she took a dig at Alia Bhatt.

Here’s what happened?

Recently, a content creator named Janani shared a video critiquing Alia Bhatt‘s hosting skills. Talking about Alia Bhatt’s hosting skills,

the content creator shared, “This is what you get when you have made your entire brand and personality as the hot girl, the unapproachable girl, the cool girl, and all of a sudden to pivot into, ‘I’m a quirky, dorky, just like the rest of you’ is just not working. It was so forced, it felt so fake. I wasn’t buying it. I don’t think she was buying it… And to stick her between two comedians didn’t help in the way that they thought it would, because one of them is a misogynist, and the other one was doing an Aamir Khan bit. I don’t think Aamir Khan is that relevant anymore that we find an imitation of him funny, and the whole Aamir Khan not coming to award shows is way too old and beaten to death.” Reacting to the video, Mini Mathur commented, “Thank you. Someone finally said it.” In no time, her comment went viral on social media. Many believed that she was taking a jibe at Alia.

Mini Mathur breaks silence

Now, in an interview with HT City, Mini Mathur clarified her stance and put an end to the speculations. She also revealed why she commented on the video. Reacting to the claims of her shading Alia, Mini Mathur 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 further went on to say that she loves Alia. She added, “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.”
