Actress Mindy Kaling, who has Indian roots, is set to work on a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy show. "I'm joining the Netflix family. Lang Fisher and I are working on a brand new Netflix TV comedy about the life of a modern day first generation Indian American teenage girl. Get ready for lots of relatable awkward teen moments. More coming soon," Kaling tweeted.

Netflix has given a 10-episode series order for it, reported deadline.com. Kaling landed her first TV staff-writing job on the first season of The Office. She became a rising star, ascending to an executive producer on the Emmy-winning series where she also played customer service representative Kelly Kapoor.
