Mandira recalled, ‘At the end of every show I would put my head down and cry and the people sitting next to me would say, ‘I will go and have coffee now. Will you have coffee?’ And they would just leave. I was sad and for the first week, no one said anything. I was stuttering and stuttering, I was nervous and I did not get any support from anywhere. At the same time, I had a co-host, and his questions were being accepted.’ However, after this Mandira made many big changes in herself and proved herself.
