Meghan Markle is making headlines for her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, where she hosts celebrity friends for lunch. In the second episode, actress Mindy Kaling appeared as a guest and complimented Meghan’s fashion choices. However, their exchange took an unexpected turn when Meghan misinterpreted Mindy’s words, leading to online debate.
During their conversation, Mindy told the Suits star, “By the way, Meghan, I want to ask about your look.” Distracted while reaching into the refrigerator, Meghan paused and asked, “My who?” Mindy repeated, “Your look. Meghan. Did I not say it right?” Meghan, seemingly confused, responded, “Oh, my lewk?” before jokingly adding, “Mindy, you’re way cooler than I am. I don’t know what you’re talking about—my lewk. My look? She likes my look?” Mindy then clarified and praised Meghan’s fashion sense, saying, “Your fashion is, like, one of my favourite things.”
While the moment appeared lighthearted, some viewers believe Meghan was intentionally mocking Mindy’s Indian accent, sparking mixed reactions online.
The main thing that I found overly offensive was on episode 2 from the With Love Meghan show .. when Meghan’s MEAN GIRL bully behaviour really came out . She just couldn’t help herself . So there is Mindy doing the fawning over Meghan that is so obviously demanded by the script… pic.twitter.com/Wrud8C36xb

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Seriously I know how she’s managed to send people to therapy. I was almost in tears for Mindy and it so triggered me, so racist and uncalled for. The nasty mean girl was on full display.”
Another shared, “Being bilingual is amazing and should be celebrated. I’d call Markle’s bullying ‘conscious bias’ because she knows damn well what she’s doing.”
“Unless you are trying to teach someone, a child, a foreign student of English, it is incredibly rude to correct a person’s error. Only a seriously uncouth person would do that, particularly on worldwide TV. That portion should have been cut out in editing,” a comment read.
An individual shared, “I could see Meghan was looking at the camera and encouraging others to laugh.”
Another mentioned, “Very inappropriate comment. Normal people wouldn’t make fun of a person like this. To do it on film just shows me what a BULLY she is.”
One more added, “From what I’ve seen and read she was rude to Mindy all through her guest appearance. I hope Mindy or her friends see that now while watching because you don’t necessarily feel it in the moment.”
In an interview with Time, Mindy Kaling revealed that Meghan Markle invited her to appear on With Love, Meghan while she was on maternity leave with her daughter. Meghan reached out, offering her a visit to Montecito for a meal. Mindy found the timing perfect, as she was looking for a moment of relaxation. She described the experience as a pleasant outing, and upon leaving, Meghan gifted her a basket filled with fresh food items, including homemade jam and hot sauce. Mindy appreciated the thoughtful gesture, noting that Meghan understood she needed a small break.
