Mindy Kaling, 43, shares more snaps from her swimsuit shoot as she says comments about her shape after losing 30lbs are ‘flattering’ but ‘a little much’

Mindy Kaling shared more images on Friday from her new campaign with Andie Swim.

The beauty looked confident as she posed in a black one piece swimsuit by a swimming pool as she added sunglasses.

The 43-year-old TV star has come a long way in the past few years when she used to cover up her body.

Now that she has lost over 30lbs thanks to more exercise and smaller meal portions she feels ‘great,’ and is happy to flaunt her frame.

But she told People that though the positive feedback on her newly slim figure is ‘flattering,’ she tries to ‘tune out’ a lot of the comments. ‘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,’ she told the site. 

‘The truth is that I spend so much time and energy trying to be healthy.’ 

She said about her shape. ‘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 revealed. ‘I feel great.’ 

The Office star looked sensational in the photo shoot which took place by a swimming pool and at a beach.

The Never Have I Ever writer said she feels so great about her new shape that she has agreed to star in a swimsuit campaign. 

She wrote on Instagram: ‘I bet you didn’t know my side hustle was swimsuit design. I am so excited to launch my first-ever swimwear collection(!!) in collaboration with Andie!

‘I designed new limited edition styles, and also re-imagined classic Andie suits in bold + fun Mindy-approved colors (but also some classic colors if you’re, like, just trying to be chill).

‘I am not crazy about trying on swimsuits. In fact, I kind of famously despise it? But these are so flattering, I promise your new favorite suit is in this collection. Enjoy!’

Mindy, a longtime fan of Andie, worked closely with the brand to ensure the collection fits across every body type.

‘I have been a fan of Andie Swim for years, drawn to their authenticity as a brand, their sense of humor, and of course, the fit of their suits,’ she said.

‘For that reason, I jumped at the chance to work with Andie on designing my first ever swim collection. 

‘I wanted the collection to be bold, fun, and empowering, full of pieces that make you look and feel amazing. 

‘The collection is a mix of our brand-new designs and some of my favorite Andie styles reimagined in new textures and colors.

Andie Swim’s founder and CEO, Melanie Travis, echoes Mindy’s enthusiasm, saying, ‘We’re beyond thrilled to partner with Mindy on this swimwear collection. 

‘Mindy’s unique perspective on style and color, coupled with her passion for empowering women, made this collaboration so much fun.

‘She provided valuable input on silhouettes that she has both loved and disliked over the years, ultimately enabling us to craft a collection that we’re all obsessed with. It’s bold, fun, and full of vibrant colors, with silhouettes that are flattering for all body types. 

‘I can’t wait to see what people think – I am so excited to share the Mindy x Andie collection with the world.’
