Mini Mathur and Madhavan hosted the show
Actress Mini Mathur recently took a trip down the memory lane and shared a series of photos on social media from her debut as a TV host on the game show Tol Mol Ke Bol. The nostalgic post features Madhavan. In the picture, Mini Mathur and her co-host R Madhavan can be seen filming for the show. While Mini is seen sporting a saree, R Madhavan is dressed in a maroon kurta. Reflecting on her journey, Mini recalled how she landed the hosting role. She shared she was fresh out of MBA school while working part-time as a model.
Captioning the post on Instagram, Mini Mathur wrote, "January 1995. My first day on a TV set as a TV host. And the story goes like this. I was a fresh-off-the-boat MBA, working with J Walter Thompson. I used to model part-time those days and Doordarshan had just moved over to Zee TV, India's first satellite channel. One day, out of the blue.. the now legendary Sanjay K Roy called me in to audition for one of India's first game shows - Tol Mol Ke Bol.
Mini Mathur added, "The first season had made Rituraj K Singh(RIP) wildly popular and he was moving to films. They needed new hosts and here I was.. in my lame office salwar kameez and permed hair. I didn't think I would get picked and I had that “fresh postgraduate” wala confidence so I wasn't nervous one bit. But from the moment he called action, I felt at ease. The camera was my friend, it never intimidated me. I could chat with it, not talk at it. I was home." For the unversed, Rituraj K Singh rose to fame with his stint in the show Tol Mol Ke Bol. He died of cardiac arrest on February 20 this year.
