Mini Mathur shares her thoughts

During an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Mini highlighted the significance of taking supplements only under medical guidance. While she stated that she lacks sufficient information about Shefali to speculate on the cause of her death, Mini stressed the need for professional oversight while taking any medicine.

Mini said, “I am not qualified to talk about this. I am not aware of what her reports said, and I don’t believe in things that I read across the internet. Until a doctor verifies it, you really don’t know what caused her death.”

Mini mentioned that using the supplements, Shefali is said to have been using, is a common practice.

Mini added, “Everything you take should be under some kind of medical supervision. No one here is a doctor who knows what kind of reactions anything will have, and it can have a negative effect on you. There is nothing wrong in taking supplements that enhance your health, and there are many people I know that take such supplements like glutathione. For me, medical supervision is paramount.”

The actor, who is married to filmmaker Kabir Khan, mentioned that she is very particular about what she puts into her body. She said that she double-checks if the needle entering her body has been taken out of a sealed package, sharing that she is paranoid about all this. Mini added that she takes a lot of supplements and has used energising drips, but always under medical supervision.
