The T20 World Cup fever is on as India is about to battle it out against South Africa tonight, and there is so much euphoria in the air. Parallel to this is the world of presenters who have been loved over the years by cricket fans. One of them is the iconic Mandira Bedi, who changed the game for women in the presenters` pool when she was appointed as the first female presenter by Sony back in 2003. Over the years, she achieved new heights by sticking to her presenter tag, and many of us have known her by that. This is nothing less than an achievement for the actor-presenter.

In her latest chat with Curly Tales, Mandira Bedi spoke about her time as a presenter, getting appointed, and how the game was completely different two decades ago compared to today. While there was immense fame and love that came with the job, the tag also took some things away from her. Mandira recalls how being a presenter took a heavy toll on her acting career. She even recalls being told not to read any comments.
