Mindy Kaling looked stunning — and skinnier than ever — in the latest pH๏τos of her weight transformation.
The 45-year-old actress showcased her astounding new figure on Instagram on Tuesday after attending a screening of new short film Anuja, which premiered on Netflix earlier this month.
In her pH๏τos, Mindy looked shockingly svelte in a chic black ʙuттon-up dress.
Despite her years-long physical transformation, which began with an impressive 40lb weight loss in 2023, the film and television star has continued to shed the pounds, though her latest pH๏τos represent a significant slimming down.
That loss continued after the surprise birth of her third child in late February of last year, which led Mindy to be swamped by fan rumors that she might be using Ozempic or similar popular weight-loss drugs.
However, she has stayed mum on rumors that she has used medications to ᴀssist her weight journey.
