Mindy Kaling explains why she hesitated to post 2016 photos
Kaling has been candid regarding her journey with weight loss and health
Mindy Kaling is cautiously partaking in the 2016 social media trend, which involves sharing past photos from that year.
The Mindy Project alum, 46, shared a collection of photos from a decade ago as part of a viral online challenge calling 2026 the new 2016.
In her caption, Kaling admitted she nearly opted out. “I saw this 2016 trend and loved it and almost didn’t post because I look different," she penned on her Instagram Carousel, adding, "But these pics are too fun not to share."
Kaling went on, “(I wonder if anyone else can relate lol) but I loved this time and all my memories from then, so had to post! Enjoy!!!!”
Her post was filled with nostalgic shots from ten years back, mostly capturing her on various sets.
The Ocean’s 8 actress has been open about her transformation over recent years, revealing in a May 2023 PEOPLE interview that she spends her days in workout attire and runs 20 miles weekly to maintain her fitness.
"I'm feeling really confident in my body these days, which is not something that I've been able to say for my whole life, unfortunately," the Never Have I Ever creator stated while talking about the launch of her Mindy x Andie Swim Collection.
