LOS ANGELES (TIP): Hollywood actress and The Mindy Project star Mindy Kaling reportedly gave birth to a baby girl on December 15.
According to sources, the 38-year-old actress, who will next be seen in Ocean’s 8, has named her baby Katherine Kaling, although the news is yet to be officially confirmed.
Meanwhile, speculations are rife about the father of the child as Mindy is not believed to be dating anyone.
“She is not telling anyone, not even close friends, who the father is,” a source told the publication.
Mindy, who announced her pregnancy back in August, had earlier said, “I’m very, very pregnant. I’ve had a pretty great time of it so far, but I think I took a lot for granted before this, now that I’m in my current situation. Like, sitting, I’m obsessed with sitting and even when I was standing back there I was looking at this chair and I was like, ‘Awww, can’t wait to sit in that chair!”
Although the news of the pregnancy was leaked by legendary TV host Oprah Winfrey before Kaling’s official announcement, the actress had said that she wasn’t upset about the goof-up.
“At first, I was like, OK if anyone was going to announce big news about your private life, Oprah Winfrey’s the person. You can’t complain that much about it, and you can’t be like, ‘Hey, Oprah, zip it!’ because she’s almost like a religious figure. I thought, ‘OK, if there’s one person I have to tell my daughter who revealed her existence to the world, Oprah’s pretty good,” Mindy had said.
Mindy Kaling was born to Indian parents in 1979. Her dad is a Tamilian architect and her mom is a Bengali doctor.
She rose to fame playing the character of Kelly Kapoor in the TV show The Office. In 2012, Mindy wrote, produced and starred in The Mindy Project, becoming one of the first Indian-American actors to headline a show on American television.
