Mandira Bedi not allowed to read comments
Recalling the past, he said, 'At that time we did not have social media, where you could see people's comments. We had the internet, but not like today. Sony kept me away from all this. They said, you are not allowed to know what people are saying. They blocked all this for me. What I have learned from my time in cricket is that in life there will be people who will like you and then there will be people in life who will not like you. So be grateful to those who like you and don't try to please those who don't like you.'
Mandira Bedi went to Sri Lanka to watch cricket
Talking about the beginning of her journey in the sports world, Mandira said, 'In the year 2002, India defeated England and made it to the semi-finals of a tournament called the Champions Trophy… Now, since I love cricket, I decided to go to Sri Lanka to watch the match. So, I booked a ticket for myself and reached there.' She told that the people from Sony were curious to know why she spent her own money to attend the tournament, because 'at that time, they were calling celebrities to watch cricket, and the actress had it in her mind that she is a person who really loves cricket.
Acting offers stopped coming
As she became famous as a host, she stopped getting acting offers. Mandira said that she started getting offers for anchoring and MC jobs because everyone had forgotten that she was an actor. She had worked as an actor for eight years before starting hosting. She used to tell people, 'You have forgotten, but I know acting, I am an actor. I started my career as an actor.'
