Mindy Kaling reveals why she’s avoiding screen time despite creating hit shows

Why Mindy Kaling Is Taking a Break from Acting

Mindy’s got this weird feeling about being on screen lately.

She calls it superstition, but fans are wondering when she’ll return.

The talented mom of three hasn’t been acting much, and she recently spilled the beans on why during a chat with The Hollywood Reporter.

The Superstition Behind Her Absence

“These shows seem to have gone well and I’m not in them,” Mindy confessed with a laugh.

Her Netflix hit “Never Have I Ever” centered around an Indian American family, yet she stayed behind the camera.

Strange choice? Not for Mindy, who’s following her gut feeling about what works.

“I miss it,” she admitted without hesitation. The 45-year-old creator is itching to get back in front of the camera soon.

She’s dreaming of writing something special where she can shine again, bringing her unique comedy style that fans have been craving.

Mindy’s not just thinking about acting—she wants it all! Directing while acting feels “unbelievably fun” to her.

She loves the efficiency of controlling both sides of the camera.

Once she launches a few more projects in her pipeline, she’ll likely jump back in.

“I’ve fallen in love with this woman,” gushed Kate Hudson about working with Mindy.

Their Netflix show “Running Point” showcases Mindy’s incredible work ethic.

Kate couldn’t believe Mindy was sending script notes practically minutes after giving birth—talk about dedication!

Mindy somehow balances it all without breaking a sweat.

She’s raising three kids—Katherine, Spencer, and baby Anne—while running multiple hit shows.

Hudson calls her a “powerhouse” who always delivers on promises, no matter what’s happening in her personal life.

The creative genius is taking her time before stepping back into the spotlight.

She’s focusing on launching new projects first, building her empire behind the scenes.

But don’t worry—she’s made it clear that acting remains a passion she plans to return to.
