“What’s also nice is that not only is she the lead in the show, but she’s the leader of the show. The cast all looks up to her,” she added of Hudson.
‘She’s been famous for so long, so they’re really in awe of her, but she’s incredibly warm and friendly. So it’s just amazing,” the Massachusetts native said.
Kaling noted that it was refreshing to work with her because of the maturity and professionalism she brings to a set.

The blonde beauty spoke candidly in an interview about her entry into the music world and her songwriting process People.
“The writing process was the most important and cathartic for me,” she said. ‘The songs…are very personal and each is a different kind of expression of myself. Each [song] will feel different, but obviously very authentic for me, I think.’
While a specific release date has not yet been announced, the album is scheduled to be released later this year while she films the accompanying music videos.
