According to Mindy Kaling, there's one big misconception people have about Meghan Markle.

When it comes to Meghan Markle, there's certainly no shortage of opinions. But according to Mindy Kaling, we've got it all wrong.

The Never Have I Ever creator, who recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has just revealed what the Duchess of Sussex is really like behind closed doors, and has shut down speculations that Markle is "fussy".

"I think a misconception about Meghan is that she's in any way fussy or has expectations of fanciness," Kaling shared with Time magazine. "She really is a down-to-earth person who knows a lot of fun tricks to make entertaining and cooking easier."

This insight comes at an interesting time, as Meghan has been making headlines with her upcoming Netflix documentary, With Love, Meghan, which Kaling is set to appear in.

"I love cooking, but I'm really not good at entertaining," Kaling said. "I don't know anything about how you're not supposed to use overhead lighting when people come over. You're supposed to use little lamps. But Meghan just knows how to do that stuff."

Speaking about her appearance on the show, Kaling praised Markle's knowledge for entertaining and cooking, and shared what she learnt from the experience.

"For kids' parties, I usually just go to the party supply store and get paper things, which I don't judge and neither does she. But it was fun to learn simple ways to do a homemade kids' party."

Kaling had just given birth to her daughter when she received an unexpected invitation to appear on Markle's lifestyle and cooking show.

"I was on maternity leave with my daughter in March and April, and Meghan texted me that she was doing a show where she was going to cook for her friends," Kaling recalled. "Would I want to come to Montecito and have her cook for me? I wanted to get taken care of in that moment of my life. That was a fun maternity leave field trip."

And it seems the visit left a lasting impression on Kaling, who saw the experience as a much-needed break for a busy mum. Not to mention, she left with an array of tasty snacks.

"I left with a basket of fresh produce and homemade jam and hot sauce because she knew I loved hot sauce," she continued. "She's a very generous woman who knew I needed a break."

It's not the first time we've seen glimpses of the more personal side of Meghan Markle. Despite the constant speculation about her public image and relationship with Prince Harry, those who know her personally often seem to paint a very different picture.
