'It ended up being very cathartic,' Mindy Kaling says of creating her latest Netflix show. The series centers on a nerdy, opinionated, Indian American teen who's on the hunt for a boyfriend.
, we got so many tweets where people said,"Oh, they should be together! They should date!" And it was like, why? Because we're the only two Indian people on NBC? So I think it's funny when our communities try to find lots of different reasons why we're so, so different when a majority of probably this country thinks we're identical.
On how having a child helped her reconnect with her memories of her own mother, who died of cancer in 2012I was scared for years that that would be the only way that I remember my mother, which was sick, and tired, and bedridden. But I will say that in having some distance from the time that she's died, and particularly by having a daughter, I have been able to let that part of her life
kind of recess in my memory, and more of her as when I was a teenager — and how funny and vibrant she was when she was in her 40s and 50s — that now has taken over much more of my imagination. But having a kid is great, because I now see my mother as a young mother, because I see her through my daughter's eyes of me, and so that's been really helpful, because I can ask questions about my mom to my father, about her as a young mother, and I'm learning so much more about her, which is great.Bridget Bentz, Molly Seavy-Nesper and Beth Novey adapted it for the Web.
