Mindy Kaling's Thirst Trap Turns Into Roast Over Her New Image

Mindy Kaling is feeling herself since dropping a significant amount of weight but her fans still don’t believe their eyes.

The actress has a swimwear line and every now and again, she reminds us about it by showing up in a sexy one or two-piece every now and again. “I love bikinis on other people but I’m sometimes nervous about wearing them myself. That’s why I loved this Amor Top and Bottoms from my collection with @andieswim,” she writes.

The caption continues. “There’s enough coverage without seeming overly modest. If you’ve been wanting to try a bikini but are hesitant maybe give these a try. The material is so comfortable, and I love a “darker” non-black color for bikinis. (This is Dragonfly! 🐉🪰),” she brags.

The problem here is Kaling’s fans are still hung up on the writer’s dramatic weight loss and the bikinis are not enough of a distraction.

Kaling’s fans are begging for normalcy in the comments. “Remember when you used to post things that weren’t about your body,” asked one follower. “You are pretty now, but you were beautiful with curves. Skinny women on screen are a dime a dozen,” noted another follower.

Many put effort into calling her out over her dramatic weight loss. “Yeah, can’t wear those anymore !!!😢 My days are over!! And Mindy, you didn’t lose tons of weight by just hiking, c’mon now 😉.”

Another person wrote, “Nay. Not a fan of the body glorification after weight loss…” Kaling’s followers seem to be losing hope in her.  This new look is jarring for some, apparently.

Kaling’s weight loss has been a topic of conversation for some time now, so much so that she had to address it.

The actress spoke with PEOPLE saying, “It's not super exciting for me to talk about my body and how it’s analyzed.  So, I think I'm just not going to get into it because it takes over the conversation unfortunately and people take it so personally.”

It doesn’t matter who is happy or not about her weight loss, Kaling is overjoyed about it. “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,” she told the magazine. “I feel great.”

The drama around her weight started in December 2022 when she posted a pic looking like a skinny baddie in a white dress.

Kaling went into defense mode eventually from all the hate around her physique.

“I know people are really interested in my body and the changes in my body, and I think it's flattering and sometimes it's just a little much, so I don't try to tune it in too much. The truth is that I spend so much time and energy trying to be healthy.”

She claimed that she hikes and runs and started weight lifting. It wasn’t enough for people to believe this was the result. “It's really a big commitment.”
