Mindy Kaling Honored with Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Mindy Kaling, the acclaimed creator and actress, received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 18, 2025, in a ceremony that highlighted her enduring friendship with B.J. Novak, her former The Office co-star. Novak, who is also the godfather to Kaling’s three children, delivered a heartfelt tribute during the event, praising her multifaceted career and personal achievements.
Novak described Kaling as a “brilliant and wildly successful showrunner,” an “incredible mother of three,” and a deeply caring friend and mentor. He humorously noted that while Kaling could have been honored on a “walk of talent,” “friendship,” or “compassionate parenthood,” she rightfully earned her place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Novak also reflected on their long-standing bond, saying, “We always knew you would be famous, but we had no idea how beautifully you’d handle the job.”
Kaling, in turn, expressed her gratitude for Novak, calling him an “important and integral part of my family.” She shared that their professional relationship, which began on The Office, has evolved into a lifelong friendship that continues to inspire her. Kaling, a single mother to daughters Katherine, 7, and Anne, 12 months, and son Spencer, 4, also spoke about the challenges and rewards of balancing her career with motherhood, emphasizing her desire to be a role model for her children.
The ceremony underscored Kaling’s significant contributions to Hollywood, from her work on The Office to her creation of shows like The Sex Lives of College Girls. Her star on the Walk of Fame serves as a testament to her talent, resilience, and the enduring impact of her work in the entertainment industry.
