Makers started getting fake emotions: Mini Mathur
Mini Mathur said that he was forced to think again on his hosting role in reality TVs. He said that the makers started making scripted ie showy emotions, which he did not like. He said, “He asked me to create a moment again. When we started the Indian Idol Season 1, there were no such moments. The moments were made because we were real. As soon as I was asked to make and show off a feeling, I said that it is just, I go out of it. Because I can’t be an actor in the reality show.”
