Mini Mathur reveals if she took a jibe at Alia Bhatt for her hosting: 'I will tell you why I commented…'

B-town actress Alia Bhatt frequently garners attention for diverse reasons. Recently, she trended on social media following the online circulation of videos showcasing her hosting at an award show. While her fans lauded her hosting abilities, a segment of internet users resorted to trolling, with many labeling her performance as "forced and fake." This criticism has ignited a broader online discussion, with calls for the return of experienced anchors. Amidst the ongoing backlash, Mini Mathur's reaction further fueled the conversation. Now, Mini has broken her silence to address whether her comments were a veiled jab at Mini Mathur.

Did Mini Mathur really react at Alia Bhatt’s hosting?

A content creator named Janani recently posted a video criticizing Alia Bhatt's hosting. Janani stated, "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."

Mini Mathur reacted to this video by commenting, "Thank you. Someone finally said it." This comment quickly gained traction online, with many interpreting it as a jab at Alia Bhatt.

Mini Mathur recently clarified her position in an interview with HT City, addressing the rumors surrounding her comment. When asked about accusations of criticizing Alia Bhatt, Mini stated, "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 emphasized her admiration for Alia, adding, "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."
