Mini walks out of Popkorn!

Mini is making headlines again! The lady who's known for her anchoring skills has opted out of the spicy show Popkorn on Zoom. We had recently reported that Mini would be the host of Sahara One's Sirf Ek Minute Mein earlier known as Dial One. Mini Mathur will only take work she can handle until Indian Idol III Mini had been on Popkorn for more than a year and was the co-anchor with Shonali Nagrani. Says Mini, "Well, yes I have quit Popkorn. I felt I had done enough and there was a faint feeling of boredom. It did get monotonous, though I was the co-anchor!" When asked what led to her popping out of Popkorn, Mini responded with a sigh, "There have been no problems with the channel; they have been extremely sweet to me. But I had certain money issues with them (the producer), so I thought of backing out!" A source unwilling to be named and close to the production house accepted that this had indeed come to pass but was reluctant to give any further details. Though Mini has called it quits, the emotional attachment stays on! "It is very difficult to part with a show which you have been doing since a very long time. And I have enjoyed each and every moment of being a part of it," states Mathur. Mini now has her arms wide open to other offers. "I am certainly open to new shows, but I am sure I will not change my mind about doing something different like soaps - as of now," laughs Mini. "I have been presenting since day one, and I have mastered that by now!" With Sirf Ek Minute Mein on Sahara One Mini also only wants to take up projects that she can handle until Indian Idol III takes off. Says the lovely lady: "I can't take up too much, which is later difficult to handle. I love my personal life. I need time to spend with my family and friends." That's a major decision from our Mini.
