The writer and actor has had a hell of a few years, starring in <\/p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ocean\u2019s 8<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> alongside a megawatt cast including Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, and Rihanna. Her hush-hush <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/first-person\/miscarriage-womens-health-gynaecologist-pregnancy-grief\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pregnancy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last year was revealed by Oprah \u2014 Kaling\u2019s co-star from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Wrinkle In Time<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0\u2014 and she\u2019s got a new film out where she and British comedy legend Emma Thompson play the leads. Called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late Night<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it received rave reviews at Sundance, and is written by Kaling. Plus, Kaling\u2019s webseries version of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four Weddings and a Funeral<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is set to release next month, and she and global superstar Priyanka Chopra have joined forces for an Indian wedding comedy. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindy Kaling is everywhere. And despite this veritable laundry list of achievements, she doesn\u2019t fit the mold of the typical comedy cool girl \u00a0\u2014 the kind who has an impossibly chic haircut (see: fellow writer-actor Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the cheeky, fourth wall-smashing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fleabag<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), or the insouciance of white women in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/inside-jokes-understand-indian-stand-up-comedy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comedies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broad City<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russian Doll<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Unlike the cast of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Girls<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Kaling\u2019s professional-class immigrant parents weren\u2019t connected with the New York arts scene, and her Dartmouth degree is the stuff good biodatas are made of. Instead, her persona is in the vein of Issa Rae\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insecure<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or Michaela Coel\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chewing Gum<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 shows created by and starring women of colour, about the inherent awkwardness and hilarity of navigating a world where you very obviously don\u2019t fit in. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a genre that Kaling all but originated with her critically acclaimed series, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mindy Project<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in 2012 \u00a0\u2014 the same year Nora Lum aka Awkwafina, the Asian-American comedy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/gully-boys-dissent-general-elections-2019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rapper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, hit the mainstream with \u201cMy Vag\u201d. Rae\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the webseries that would later become <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insecure<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, similarly began in 2011. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kaling as Dr Mindy Lahiri is not the familiar artsy NYC girl with avant-garde clothes and easy nouveau-feminist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/sexuality-and-the-city\/world-aids-day-sex-sapiosexual-sexuality\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexuality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She\u2019s a skilled OBGYN and a hopeless romantic, a right-wing conservative who is not at all comfortable with body positivity, whose chief concern is finding the right blandly handsome white guy to fulfill her <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleepless in Seattle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fantasies. Her preppy, brightly patterned sweaters and skirts make no attempt to be fashionable or edgy, and her starry-eyed faith in meetcutes and the Empire State Building bears no resemblance to the cynical, too-cool-to-care attitude of most funny girls. <\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Her rebellion is against people\u2019s perception of the uncool, uptight immigrant girl.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her breakout role as Kelly Kapoor on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Office<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 a sitcom where she was the only writer of colour in the room, and progressed to being a beloved character \u2014 Kaling built a hilarious, pop culture-obsessed drama queen who has absolutely no chill about anything. Whether it\u2019s her one-sided relationship with BJ Novak\u2019s Ryan Howard, whom she pursues relentlessly, or her insistence on following Beyonce\u2019s master cleanse, Kapoor is needy, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/avengers-game-of-thrones-mainstream-tweets-memes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nerdy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the opposite of effortless. She\u2019s the antithesis of the woke-up-like-this hipster whose aspirational coolness is a fixture in women-led TV and web series that descend from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex and the City<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Kaling often laments that fans see her as a combination of both Kapoor and Lahiri, she clearly has more than a little in common with her most iconic characters. She has famously <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/jarettwieselman\/mindy-kaling-shared-a-truly-amazing-secret-to-her-success\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attributed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> much of her success to the fact that her parents \u201craised her with the entitlement of a tall, blond white man,\u201d a trait that you can often find in both Kapoor and Lahiri. Her debut bestselling book is titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, reflecting the anxieties that plague someone who perpetually feels like an outsider. Here, Kaling describes herself as a timid, obedient child of immigrants who got good grades and was sheltered from the evils of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/vice\/indian-uncles-cocaine-mdma-ecstacy-party-drugs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drugs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, booze, and high-school parties. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even today, you\u2019re not likely to find a straight-edge Kaling character casually smoking a joint or popping a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/vice\/prescription-pills-addiction-depression-family\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Her rebellion is against people\u2019s perception of the uncool, uptight immigrant girl. She excels at playing deluded women, and it\u2019s this same unwillingness to accept reality that makes Kaling impossible to shut out, or shut up. Because the reality is, Mindy Kaling wasn\u2019t supposed to be one of the biggest names in American comedy. For all her bubbly, self-deprecating jokes, her cartoonish voice and buttoned-up mannerisms, Kaling is every bit as revolutionary as the cool girls of comedy, even more so for being a voluptuous, dark-skinned woman who believes she\u2019s worthy of the fairytale, and who rejects any veneer of coolness outright. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can a woman who started out as a junior TV staff writer and late-night intern, and who is now releasing a semi-biographical film about her experiences alongside an Oscar-winning actress, possibly be effortless? How can it be denied that she, far from being detached and sardonic, is unapologetically earnest? And yet, Kaling is equally the feminist who gave birth on her own last year, refusing to discuss the identity of daughter\u2019s father, and who frequently defends herself against critics who want to mark her as the flagbearer of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/bringonthegirls-concealed-sexism-indias-music-scene\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diversity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Somehow, by never wanting to be the cool girl, Kaling has changed the meaning of the term, then joined the club and become its president.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Kaling is any indication, maybe it is the unironic, bespectacled bookworms who will inherit the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/earth-day-conspiracy-theories-flat-earth-youtube-nasa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">earth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or at least, the future of comedy. And if not, a whole generation of immigrant girls can look back at their mushroom cuts and hand-me-down frocks, and know that thanks to Kaling, the cool-girl status that was forever denied to them is finally within their reach. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mindy Kaling is everywhere, but despite her laundry list of achievements, she doesn\u2019t fit the mould of the typical comedy \u201ccool girl\u201d.
