Mindy Kaling is a powerhouse in the film industry. From writing and starring in The Office to creating her own television shows, it’s clear that the Massachusetts native is a top-tier talent in Hollywood. However, she also knows her priorities. As a mother to several children, Mindy has opened up over the years about motherhood and how she’s enjoyed her life as a single mom.
During an August 2022 interview with Marie Claire, Mindy pointed out that she decided to have kids on her own time. “I waited until I had the means and that made all the difference,” she said, before noting the privilege she had in doing so and how she felt about the overturning of Roe v. Wade. “The choice to have a child — by yourself, on your own terms — it was the best part of my life. It’s the thing that I hope women feel confident doing by themselves.”
Elsewhere in that interview, Mindy pointed out that she is the “only parent [her] kids have” and emphasized that, when it comes to her career in the public eye, she wants to “err on the side of super cautious so that there’s less things they can potentially be mad at me about down the line.”
