Mindy Kaling has kept much of her personal life private, but here's a look at her past relationships, including her connection with BJ Novak, and details about her role as a mom.

Novak, who played one-half of on-again, off-again dysfunctional couple Ryan Howard-Kelly Kapoor on the beloved NBC series, was on hand to deliver a speech for Kaling, which he wrapped up with a sweet nickname that may have referenced “The Office.”

I mean, of course BJ Novak was the one to present Mindy Kaling with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Of course, he kissed her affectionately on the head. And, of course, he joked about her being “superficial” in his heartfelt speech to her. This is the kind of friendship that dreams are made of.
