Mandira Bedi shares her first week as a cricket presenter
Mandira, on Kareena Kapoor Khan’s What Women Want , revealed that her first week as a cricket presenter was filled with difficulty. She said that the legends on the cricket panel used to ignore her questions and used to give answers that were not related. She used to feel disrespected by the same. In her words:
“One week went by with absolute hesitation, fumbles and mistakes. At the end of every show, I would put my head down and cry. The legends on either sides of me, I would ask them questions and they just stared at me. They turned to the camera and answered whatever the hell they wanted to answer.”
