Ask Mina

BBC Asian Network - Asian Network Presents, Ask Mina

The 'Ask Mina!' cookery and lifestyle show has been airing on Wolverhampton's very own local satellite TV channel Sansar TV, for more years than producer Ravi likes to remember. Run by the supermarket chain owner JJ Sunderam, Sansar is all about pushing his food products and celebrating his favourite Bollywood superstar Mina Mistry.

On air, Mina is the gentle, sophisticated, culinary master everyone trusts - off air she's a paranoid, egotistical, power-hungry monster! But JJ can't see beyond his schoolboy crush and Ravi doesn't know how to get rid of her. When a young assistant, Neelam, brings her imagination and enthusiasm to Sansar TV Ravi realises he's found his new television chef - Neelam is a natural in front of the camera and is actually passionate about food! . But what do they do about Mina?!
