“I actually thoughts season 1 was a fluke and that I am now a terrible actress and I’m going to let my cast down,” admitted the Mississauga-native, while speaking to ET Canada. 

“I’m gonna let Mindy (Kaling) and Lang (Fisher) down and they’re all gonna hate me. My career is over I’m blacklisted from Hollywood and it’s done,” she continued.

However, co-creators Kaling and Fisher managed to convince the young star otherwise.

“They were like, ‘You’re meant for this role,” she recalled. “This is where you’re meant to be. You’re a good actress and we would tell you if you suck. So after all that anxiety, we were having fun. Then we were like, ‘Yeah, let’s play!’”
