“I was so excited to be asked to be the cover of @vogueindia’s December issue but seriously nervous because I would have to shoot it six weeks after giving birth to my son Spencer,” said the actress.

“I was not feeling body confident, and even considered saying no. But @katiegreenthal and Vogue surrounded me with talented and wonderful people, and now I’m thrilled I have these photos as a memento of this very specific time in my life. ‘Postpartum pandemic fabulous’ is what I like to call it.”

As The Mindy Project star chose her daughter’s middle name to honor her late mother Dr. Swati Chokalingam, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2012.
