Mindy Kaling looked unrecognizable while flaunting her alleged 40lb weight loss at the pre-Golden Globe Awards bash, Golden Eve, in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
The 46-year-old Running Point co-creator has never admitted to taking a trendy GLP-1 agonist drug but, rather, credited her slimmed down 5ft2in frame to portion control, increased hydration, weight training, yoga and 15-20 mile walks per week.
‘In my 20s, I had this very certain idea of what “being fit” really meant,’ Kaling (born Vera Chokalingam) told E! News in 2022.
‘You had to run a seven-minute mile and eat this amount of carbs and proteins. It took me a long time to realize that there are lots of different ways to be fit.’
The FDA has only approved three GLP-1 drugs specifically for weight loss – the semaglutide Wegovy, the liraglutide Saxenda and the tirzepatide Zepbound – and the rest are specifically for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes.

Celebrities who’ve admitted to taking the diabetic injectables include Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Bates, Kelly Clarkson, Whoopi Goldberg, Amy Schumer, Serena Williams, Meghan Trainor, Elon Musk, Rebel Wilson, Chelsea Handler, Sharon Osbourne and Tori Spelling.
But for every celebrity who admits to hopping aboard the Ozempic train, there are many more who’ve remained suspiciously silent while slimming including Selena Gomez, Melissa McCarthy, Khloé Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Lana Del Rey, Christina Aguilera and Ricki Lake.
The six-time Emmy nominee flashed her tiny waistline wearing a black cut-out dress as well as diamond earrings and a statement ring selected by stylist Erin Walsh.
Aside from being the skinniest she’s looked in decades, Kaling’s facial features and complexion have also seemingly transformed.
The Sex Lives of College Girls co-creator’s nose appeared to be slimmer, her brow was substantially higher, her chin longer as well as having a suspiciously-plumper pout.
Kaling recently shared a Christmas recap video featuring her three children – daughter Katherine, 8; son Spencer, 5; and daughter Anne, 23 months – and a glimpse of a mystery man resembling her ex-boyfriend B.J. Novak.
The National Medal of Arts winner – who employs a full-time nanny and two assistants – has always maintained that the 46-year-old Vengeance director-star was her children’s ‘godfather’ but has never disclosed their father’s identity.
Kaling and Novak – who dated on/off between 2005-2013 – famously wrote and starred as Dunder Mifflin love interests Kelly Kapoor and Ryan Howard on NBC’s mockumentary sitcom The Office, which aired for nine seasons spanning 2005-2013.
Greg Daniels’ critically-acclaimed show was a remake of BBC Two’s iconic series of the same name co-created by and starring Ricky Gervais, which aired for two seasons spanning 2002-2003.
