Mindy Kaling is grateful that The Mindy Project “completely changed my life” and she got to end it “on my own terms”

TIME

“Six years ago I created a show called #TheMindyProject and got to play the lead,” she tweeted as her final episode was released. “Not the sassy friend or nagging wife. It completely changed my life. 117 episodes later, it’s ending, on my own terms. That’s so rare, and I just want to say how grateful I am. Love forever, MK.” Kaling also notes that she was completely pregnant for the entire last season. “The finale I was almost 7 months along and it was a heat wave. See if you can tell…,” she added, giving credit to her staff for hiding her pregnancy so well.
