Mindy Kaling is set to be a mom but she has some apprehension about taking the first step into motherhood. "I'm really happy that that's what I project but right now I just feel so anxious", Kaling revealed.
Do you think Mindy Kaling will be a "dorky" mom?
The soon-to-be-mother added, "so if I can be kind of fun too, I think that would be great".
The expectant actress got candid about her hopes and fears in a recent interview with Willie Geist for Sunday Today.
Kaling's pregnancy news broke in July, which prompted huge excitement from her fans. "So if I can be kind of fun too, I think that would be nice".
She continued: 'But I'd like to be the fun mom.
She previously said it was "so unknown" to her and the idea of not being 100% in control over her circumstances was a little frightening.
It's the first child for the Mindy Project star and she explained that she is looking to her own mother - who died of pancreatic cancer in 2012 - for inspiration on what kind of parent she wants to be.
The final season of "The Mindy Project" is now streaming on Hulu. "[She] just loved us and really wanted us to be happy no matter what we did".
Kaling might not see herself as a role model, but her actions and accomplishments prove otherwise.
Kaling is now starring in the final season of The Mindy Project and would like to make more big movies like A Wrinkle In Timewhen she's done.
