Kaling shocked her fans when she confirmed her pregnancy via Instagram post. Since she hasn’t been linked to anyone since 2012, it came as a surprise that she was romantically involved and was a mother-to-be.

For Kaling, it was important to portray the working mom on television. Her character first tried to be a stay-at-home mom but it was harder than anticipated. But she wanted another motherhood narrative for her character that did not play into the stay-at-home mom trope.

She wants to show the discomfort a lot of husbands feel when their wives have really demanding full-time job. And how it can be stressing for a marriage.

“The Mindy Project” Season 6 premieres September 12 on Hulu.
