Mindy Kaling is titanically talented, ferociously funny, endlessly creative powerhouse who is also curvy, beautiful, deliciously dark skinned, and mesmerizingly sexy. Born with the not-quite-simple-enough-for-Hollywood moniker Virramundi Chokkalingham, this Massachusetts native eventually changed her name to Vera Mindy Chokalingham before just going with the nickname Mindy — which was inspired by Pam Dawber‘s title character on the classic 1970s Robin Williams sitcom, Mork and Mindy. Comedy indeed came early to Mindy Kaling, as she developed her funny muscles throughout her youth and then created a cult comic strip, “Badly Drawn Girl,” that ran in a student newspaper while she attended Dartmouth College. At 19, Late Night With Conan O’Brien hired Mindy Kaling as an intern and her sheer brilliance caught the attention of the host and his staff, thereby opening a path for her to show biz comedy royalty. Mindy Kaling’s first professional success came when she co-wrote and co-starred with her best friend Brenda Wither in the smash Off-Broadway, Matt and Ben, where the two hilarious female collaborators portrayed exaggerated versions of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. In 2004, producer Greg Daniels hired Mindy Kaling to work on NBC’s Americanized version of the classic UK sitcom, The Office. Going from a writer to one of the series’ earliest breakout stars in the role of Kelly Kapoor between 2004 and 2011, The Office launched Mindy Kaling to superstardom. The Office is also how we finally got to see Mindy Kaling nude. No, there’s no episode of The Office that features Mindy Kaling nude; the mam-mentous occasion occurred at the 2006 at The Primetime Emmy Awards. While joining her Office mates on stage to accept the series’ Best Comedy trophy, we get a glorious Mindy Kaling nip slip! Wit meets tit! After The Office, Mindy Kaling created and starred in the popular sitcom, The Mindy Project which ran on Fox and Hulu from 2012 to 2017. Since then, Mindy Kaling has created other series, written bestselling books, and continues to be one of the most delightfully alluring and uproariously funny figures in entertainment.
