Mindy Kaling says being pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic was “a real gift”. The 42-year-old actress gave birth to son Spencer Avu 11 months ago and spent the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic pregnant, and has said her experience with expecting a baby while the world was in lockdown was much less stressful than her first pregnancy with daughter Katherine Swati, now three.
She said: "It was a real gift to be pregnant during the pandemic. I felt really scrutinised during my first pregnancy and I think that it was such a joy to spend the last seven months of my pregnancy under the cover of just nobody was out, nobody was taking photos.
