Don't care if people insult me for my body: Mindy Kaling

Actress Mindy Kaling says she would be hurt if people questioned her intelligence than slamming her looks.

The 36-year-old "Mindy Project" actress feels women should be more concerned about being labelled "not smart, or not a leader," reported Female First.

"Insults about the way I look can't be the thing that harms me and my heart the most. It has to harm me the least. If I have a daughter, I'm going to tell her that. Far too many women are much more hurt by being called fat or ugly than they are by being called not smart, or not a leader.
 

"If someone told me that I was stupid or that I wasn't a leader, or that I wasn't witty or quick or perceptive, I'd be devastated. If someone told me that I had a gross body, I'd say, 'Well, it's bringing me a lot of happiness.' Like, I'm having a fine time of it. Having my priorities aligned like that has helped me have a happier life, I think.
