Actress, producer, and writer Mindy Kaling was recently honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrating her outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was attended by Kaling’s peers, friends, and family, including her ex-boyfriend BJ Novak.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Kaling took to Instagram to share her gratitude and excitement, posting a series of photos from the event.<\/p>\n

“Yesterday was one of the most special days of my life! My dearest friends and family surrounded me for the surreal and humbling experience of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, Novak delivered a heartfelt speech, praising Kaling for her numerous accomplishments, including her success as a showrunner, mother, and friend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kaling mentioned Novak writing, “@bjnovak gave such a beautiful speech.”<\/p>\n

“I was told after receiving my star that I was the first South Asian woman to have a star on the Walk of Fame. I’m humbled by that. I am so proud to be South Asian and I want to make my community proud of everything I do but more importantly, I want to help usher in the next generation of South Asian stars – who are already making a huge impact across the world,” she wrote, adding, “I can’t believe how lucky I am! Thank you to my @warnerbrosentertainment family and the @hollywoodchamberofcommerce. This was really incredible.”<\/p>\n

Kaling’s children, Katherine Swati, 7, Anne, 1, and Spencer Avu, 4, were not present at the ceremony, but Novak’s role as their “godparent” has sparked fans’ interest in their family dynamics.<\/p>\n

During her acceptance speech, Kaling gushed about Novak, saying, “He’s such an important and integral part of my family… Sometimes I forget that the reason that I know him is because we worked together professionally.”<\/p>\n

Kaling, 45, and Novak, also 45, met in 2004 on the set of The Office<\/em> and dated on and off until 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite their past romantic relationship, the two have maintained a close and amicable relationship, with Novak even serving as the “godparent” to Kaling’s three children.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Kaling has consistently denied these rumours, stating that she will not reveal the identity of her children’s father until she discusses it with them.<\/p>\n
