Indian
Idol
is
one
of
the
popular
singing
reality
show
on
television.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
when
it
started,
Mini
Mathur
and
Aman
Verma
were
first
hosting
the
show.
She
had
also
co-hosted
the
show
with
Hussain
Kuwajerwala.
The
talented
actress-model
replied
to
a
fan
who
asked
if
she
will
ever
return
to
the
reality
show.
During
an
'Ask
me
anthing'
session
on
social
media,
a
fan
asked,
"Given
a
chance
would
you
host
Indian
Idol
now?"
To
this
Mini
answered,
"Gave
birth
to
it,
turned
it
into
an
adult
and
let
it
fly.
Can't
be
handling
a
toddler
again."
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
last
year,
Mini
had
reminisced
about
her
Indian
Idol
days
and
wrote
a
lengthy
note.
In
her
note
she
had
mentioned
that
Indian
Idol
was
India's
first
reality
show
and
none
of
them
had
any
idea
that
it
'would
capture
India's
imagination
and
go
on
to
be
a
rage!'
She
had
said
that
during
those
times
it
was
'first
at
so
many
levels-
pure,
organic,
truthful
and
naked.'
She
had
mentioned
that
then,
there
was
'no
pretension,
no
gimmicks
or
manipulation'
and
first
time
viewers
were
involved
in
voting
for
the
winner.
Through
the
show,
she
said
that
she
had
connected
with
many
from
truck
drivers,
farmers
to
students
and
housewives.
She
further
added,
"In
a
lot
of
ways
..
I
discovered
a
whole
new
side
of
myself
with
the
6
seasons
I
hosted."
Currently,
Indian
Idol
12
is
hosted
by
Aditya
Narayan
and
judged
by
Neha
Kakkar,
Vishal
Dadlani
and
Himesh
Reshammiya.
The
show
has
been
in
the
news
for
both
good
(due
to
ratings)
and
bad
reasons
(due
to
controversies).
Many
even
feel
that
there
is
not
'reality'
left
in
reality
shows
these
days!
