<strong>Mumbai, July 13:</strong> Mini Mathur, a popular face on Indian Television and once the host of India’s most successful reality show “Indian Idol”, is all set to host 'jara hatake' reality show “Iss Jungle se mujhe bachao!” on SONY entertainment television.

As the name suggests, selected celebrity contestants will live in a dark, wild jungle in Malaysia, and there will be no medium of contact with them. Thrilling? Mini has more to say about this adventures reality show.

According to her, hosting a show in a jungle is altogether a very different, thrilling experience. Shooting and living in a forest where all sorts of creepy reptiles, flies and animals are moving around is really crazy, she said.

When asked about first few days of shooting, she recalled, “On my first day of shoot, I was completely taken aback with the kind of weird things I saw. When I came back from my shoot in the evening, I even saw a giant reptile in my room. I was stunned.

“And what really makes me stand and applaud is the way the jungle has been remote controlled. Because once these celebrities are dropped in the jungle, there is no point of contact for them. So everything has to be carefully planned.”

Mini is the favourite anchor of a huge audience. She said she loves her job of anchoring, and, according to her, the hosts of “American Idol” Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkleman are the best.

What if she herself were one of the contestants? Mini clarify that it is best for her to only sit and observe the participants in action.
