She also worked in an advertising firm for two years and when the opportunity came her way to work on the medium of television she decided to do it for a lark but it just continued that way. She took it as a hobby but started liking it and the rest is history. After working as a MTV veejay for four years she rose to the limelight by hosting the much popular Indian Idol show.

Mini Mathur made a great comeback with the very popular show of `Indian Idol`. She got this huge break while working out at a gym. The producer of this show was also working with her at the same time and after chatting with her for a short span he felt that she would be the right one to host the show, as she is quite experienced. Reality TV shows have always been her first choice as she does not seem to enjoy the regressive content of the daily soaps. The second reason as to why she is more inclined towards reality shows is because she loves the spontaneity and human contact in reality TV. She also claims that her style in hosting the reality shows is much different from that of the other anchors, especially that of Aman Verma. She always prefers to be unscripted and spontaneous. She does not like to discuss anything because in that way one tends to loose the spontaneity of the reality shows where they have to control the gamut of emotions of the audiences. She also jells very well with her co-stars Aman Varma and Hussain while hosting the talent show. She has not ever gone to any acting school but she has dabbled in theater. She is so perfect in her shows because of her body language, which she has picked up while on her exposure in the job. She has become a darling with the masses with her charming and caring attitude. Her six years of anchoring experience including that of countdown shows, game shows, travel and lifestyle programs had conditioner her very well to handle the emotions of the participants as well as their family members. This show has actually made her a household name and the personality she carries that of a girlfriend, wife, sister or young mother makes her so special. She has already entered the third tryst of the Indian idol show and has earned much popularity. She is also hosting the popular show Popkorn on the renowned channel Zoom Television.

In her personal life also Mini Mathur is a very happy and contented individual. She is blissfully married to Kabir Khan, a documentary filmmaker for more than seven years. She lives in purely Mediterranean sumptuousness with her husband. Their breath-taking terrace apartment is a remarkable blend of `his`sense of color and `her` sense of balance. Their house is in fact synonymous with easy living being vibrant, informal and above all refreshingly simple. The walls of their house are deliberately kept simple throughout with subtle strategic touches of a coarse texture highlighting the thematic continuity of the home décor and furnishings. In fact the furnishings are so coordinated that they provide privacy without shuttling down the air and sunshine. Her home is in tune with current popularity for an unpretentious stylish home that fulfills the requisites of an urban functionality. Mini met her husband while shooting for a television show for Home TV in the capital of the Indian subcontinent. Her husband was directing the show while she was hosting it. She was attracted by his sense of humor, his honesty, his intelligence and his smile and they immediately decided to tie the knot with him. They have a cute little son named Vivaal. She concentrates on her career as well as helps her husband with the international projects. She is also deeply interested in different forms of cinema and hopes that she can make a film one day. The thing, which keeps her going even at this age, is the drive to fulfill her in every respect. Her work gives her the fulfillment and peace of mind. She is also of the view that woman today can achieve what they want and they are capable enough to balance a full-fledged career, motherhood and marriage. To her the `Indian Idol` show was a great learning experience and she was very enlightened to hear the stories of the participants of the show. She believes that it is quite an emotionally exhaustive show. She also considers that this show has enriched her in terms of learning and experience. She also believes that the most important thing in life is prioritizing and believes in setting her priorities accordingly. When she is shooting her priority is to get the lines correct and when she is at home her priority is to attend her family. She also takes special care not to mix them up. As far as work is concerned she has decided that she cannot work for 31 days a month as her son is very small right now and needs her more than anything else. This is the main reason for her to do shows and not serials as she feels serials consume more of one`s energy and time. Her husband and in-laws have been a great support throughout and understand her work constraints.

According to Mini Mathur the most important ingredients of a relationship is the level of comfort and the bond of friendship, which comes above everything else. These things have helped her to carry her relationship forward with her husband for a long span of 7 years. They are the best of friends and will be throughout. She can`t even think of doing anything without consulting her husband and neither does her husband. Whenever she feels completely muzzled about anything and is unable to figure out what to do she immediately talks it out with her husband and immediately she gets a clear perspective of the situation. She believes that the want of more space and individuality is leading to early breakups and divorces today. Her son is her top most priority and she tries to give her as much time as possible. She stays at home when her son is back home from school and other times as well. About her personal lifestyle and diet she believes that nothing works out best that regular workout sessions and exercise. She never goes for any sort of crash diets and has a high intake of water and fruits. According to her life is full of exploring new possibilities and ventures and she thinks she is yet to achieve much more in life. She has got so much in her kitty still to do and learn and she cannot just channelize and see through life only in one direction. She has in fact come a long way and is a fantastic anchor. She is very comfortable in her own skin and never puts on an act for the camera and shows enormous empathy for the Indian Idol contestants who are young kids bubbling with excitement. Her persona is also an extension of what she is in real life. She is in fact the only anchor on television with so much panache. Her fans sincerely wish that this multifaceted persona would go a long way in fulfilling her long cherished dreams and ambitions.
