The 38-year-old TV star opened up about her pregnancy on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", saying she wanted to know the gender of her baby "way early".
Kaling said she had told her "A Wrinkle In Time" co-stars Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon that her first child is a girl but asked them to keep it a secret, reported People magazine.
The media mogul, however, did not.
"She did announce it. I had told Oprah and Reese on a movie we're working on, 'A Wrinkle in Time', and she announced it at press - she was very excited.
Earlier, "The Mindy Project" actors Beth Grant and Ed Weeks had also revealed that she was having a girl.
Kaling's pregnancy news broke in July.
