Mindy Kaling revealed the special role her dad, Avu Chokalingam, plays in her children’s lives in a special Father’s Day tribute.“My dad shows up,” the Mindy Project alum, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 18. “He was the one who drove me from the hospital after both my kids were born.
To this day, he comes to the house at least once a day to play with the kids, take them to the farmers market, pick them up from school, or walk Spencer around the block in my son’s precious blue toddler car.
He also says yes to my kids insane plans like ‘let’s spin Grandpa around in the round chair really fast.’ It’s funny how my love deepened for my dad when he became a grandfather, the role he was born to play.”Kaling — who is mom to daughter Katherine, 5, and son Spencer, 2 — continued: “I love him to the moon and back, which is what he says to my kids.
