“What’s your secret?": Fans praise actress Mindy Kaling’s incredible transformation

US actress and writer Mindy Kaling, 43, has recently embarked on a serious health journey. 

Kaling took to Instagram to share photos of her incredible weight loss while holidaying in Mumbai, India, with stunned fans flocking to the comments praising her for her body transformation. 

“What’s your secret? You are more beautiful every day,” one user wrote.

“You look so happy. I remember a time that you did not look comfortable in your own skin. Cheers to you in finding your happiness.” Another user added.

Last year, Kaling opened up about her natural approach to getting back in shape after giving birth to her second child, son Spencer, in the midst of the COVID pandemic in late 2020. 

The Mindy Project star told Entertainment Tonight last year that her weight loss process was making small, gradual changes to her diet and exercise routine. 

With the pandemic preventing her from filming, she was able to work on herself without the watchful eye of paparazzi. 

“It was this almost extended maternity leave. I wasn’t going to be on camera, the studios were shut down … I felt really scrutinised during my first pregnancy and I think that it was such a joy to spend the last seven months of my pregnancy under the cover of just nobody was out, nobody was taking photos.” She told ET. 

Kaling also shared how she thought exercise needed to be gruelling, but has since changed her view. 

“When I was younger, I had a very specific idea of how working out needed to be. It was like 45 minutes on the treadmill, seven-minute mile, it needed to be punishing, I needed to hate it,” she told People in May.

“I’ve really been mixing it up and knowing that if a workout doesn’t necessarily make me soak my clothes with sweat, that it still was a good workout … It does not have to be punishing.”
