Mini Mathur is best known an MTV VJ. An MBA from Institute of Management Technology Ghaziabad, she worked with Hindustan Thompson Associates for two years before she started as VJ with MTV. She has much to her credit. For starters, she hosts Bombay Blush — a wacky culture show on India, which airs on BBC in England. She has also hosted shows like Big Picture, MTV 123, MTV Gaana Masti, a spoof on film songs and international videos, and many more.
Stepping behind the camera, she was producer on two documentaries — A Nation Celebrates, a film commissioned by the Ministry of External affairs to commemorate 50 years of India's independence and From Corner Shops to Lords, a film also commissioned by the MEA on successful NRIs in England.
Mini stepped out of the limelight for a while when she had her son Vivan. However, she made a dazzling comeback as the host for the hugely popular show Indian Idol. As the friendly and warm host of the show, Mini won many hearts. With her witty, charming & caring attitude towards the young participants in Indian Idol, particularly Indian Idol 3, she proves herself to be a darling with the masses.
Her six-year experience anchoring countdown shows, game shows, travel & lifestyle programs had conditioned her to handle the gamut of emotions she had to deal with as presenter of Indian Idol. Though a well-known name with classes, Indian Idol made her a familiar name among masses.
Now vivacious Mini Mathur has entered her third tryst with Indian Idol Series 3 as presenter and close confidant of the contestants. She is co-hosting the third season with the talented Hussain Kuwajerwala, an established TV show anchor and an actor on Sony Entertainment Television.
Mini Mathur lives on the eighteenth floor in a Mumbai suburb with husband Kabir Khan (director), a documentary filmmaker.
Mini Mathur was also one of the contestents (now eliminated) in the season 2 of the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa dance series.
