Actress and writer Mindy Kaling has become the latest celebrity to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Dressed in a back gown, Mindy could not stop expressing her excitement as she unveiled her star on the famous street in Los Angeles. She was accompanied by her close friend and long-time creative collaborator BJ Novak as she received the honour.
BJ Novak speaks about Mindy Kaling
BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling`s friendship goes decades back. The two were writers and actors on the popular American sit-com `The Office`. Their characters were in a toxic relationship on the show. Off screen, they are the best of friends and the biggest cheerleaders for each other. Therefore it was no surprise that BJ Novak dedicated a heartfelt speech for Mindy at the star unveiling ceremony.
“Mindy respects and understands [fame] in a very intuitive way because in addition to being a brilliant and wildly successful showrunner, an incredible mother of three, a deep and caring daughter and friend and mentor to so many,” he said.
He went on to share, “You`d be on the walk of talent if they had one. You`d be on the walk of friendship. You`d be on the walk of compassionate parenthood, but let`s face it all of these would be terrible field trips, so here you are instead, very deservedly, a person who means so much to so many on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
