Indian-American actress, writer, and comedian Mindy Kaling has revealed that she welcomed her third child, a daughter, in February this year. The writer behind hit shows like 'The Mindy Project' and Netflix’s beloved drama series 'Never Have I Ever', took to Instagram to make this announcement on her 45th birthday, on June 24.
“In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined... “When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life,” she wrote. Kaling added that she feels so lucky to live in a place where she could do this by herself, on her own timeline. She also thanked everyone for all her birthday wishes.

The actor shared three photos – one of her children Katherine (six), and son Spencer (three) with their baby sister, a second one of herself as she cradled her baby bump and a third of her at the hospital with her two kids.
As soon as she shared the news, her fans and followers rushed to the comment section to share congratulatory messages and best wishes for the family. “That’s right mama. These 3 will keep it joyful. Happy birthday,” wrote a fan while another one said, “Amazing! Happy Birthday has a double meaning! Welcome to the world Anne!”
Kaling has so far chosen to keep her children’s faces away from social media. “I feel like I might as well wait until they get old enough so they can tell me if they want to be part of my social media or not,” she told PEOPLE. The actor-comedian is a single mom and has opted not to reveal the identity of the father of her children.
