In a heartfelt expression of pride, Priyanka utilized her Instagram Stories to commemorate the occasion, sharing a video of the event. She added a caption that read: “First South Asian woman to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Queen. Congratulations Mindy Kaling, so well deserved.”
Mindy Kaling, clearly moved by Priyanka’s shoutout, re-shared the post on her own Instagram account, adding a sweet message: “Love you so much.” This exchange showcased the deep bond and mutual respect shared between the two actresses.

During the ceremony, BJ Novak honored Mindy’s diverse contributions with his remarks, saying, “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.”
The star-studded event featured several notable friends of Mindy, including Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin, which enhanced the celebratory atmosphere of the occasion.
