Mindy Kaling is an inspiration: Neetu Chandra

“Mindy is an inspiration, she has chosen a path that women find tough and aced it. It is my honour and pleasure to (give a screen test) test for her role. I understand Tamil culture and have always wanted to play a character like this,” said Neetu.

Mindy, who has roots in Tamil Nadu, is known for shows like The Office and The Mindy Project.

Meanwhile, Neetu has wrapped up the shoot for The Worst Day, a comedy film which marks her debut in Hollywood. She is also shooting for a Korean youth action TV series Narae. Both these projects are scheduled to release later this year. The actress also has another Tamil film in the offing and an official announcement on the project will be made soon by the makers.
