LOS ANGELES – Actress and single mother Mindy Kaling said raising daughter Katherine, 4, and son Spencer, 21 months, has completely changed how she feels about exercise and healthy habits, according to an article on Byrdie.com.
“Working out means I can avoid things like diabetes, hypertension, and other things I am at high risk for,” she said an interview published on Tuesday, June 7. “Now that I have kids, it isn’t just about looking hot because I’m an actress. I need to live a long time because I’m a single mom.”
The “Never Have I Ever” creator explained that her outlook on exercise has completely changed since she became more healthy, and she understands that not every person at the gym is trying to look like a model.
The former “Mindy Project” star’s own mother, Dr. Swati Chokalingam, died in January 2012. The physician had been battling pancreatic cancer. The Massachusetts native honored her mother by naming her daughter Katherine Swati.
