Mindy Kaling is planning to get back into acting

Mindy Kaling is planning to get back into acting.
The 45-year-old star - who hasn't appeared on screen since 'The Morning Show' in 2023 - admitted working behind the camera on her latest show 'Running Point' has inspired her to consider acting roles again.
She told 'Extra': "When we were shooting ‘Running Point,’ which is coming out next week, the cast was so fun.
"I was like, ‘I want to act with Brenda [Song] and Kate [Hudson]. This is so fun.’ So, yes… [I've] got to get back on camera.”
Last year, she was in both 'Velma' and 'Monsters At Work', but both parts were voice roles rather than appearing on camera herself.
She has also served as a showrunner on the likes of 'Never Have I Ever' and 'The Sex Lives of College Girls'.
The 'Mindy Project' actress recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and while her kids Kit, seven, Spencer, four, and 12-month-old Anne weren't at the ceremony, she wants them to visit the site.
She added: "I think that I'm going to take them to come and see it.
"My oldest is seven, so I don't know that they know the concept of the star, so this is one of these accolades I'll have to educate them about a little bit beforehand because if I don't they'll be like, ‘Okay, who cares?’...
"I have to just let them know how major it is.”
