Priyanka Chopra recently celebrated her close friend Mindy Kaling’s monumental achievement as the first South Asian woman to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Priyanka shared her excitement and pride for Mindy, posting a video of the special moment with the caption: “First South Asian woman to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Queen. Congratulations Mindy Kaling, so well deserved (red heart emoji).”
Mindy, touched by the gesture, reshared Priyanka’s story on her own Instagram, writing, “Love you so much.” The exchange highlighted their enduring friendship and mutual admiration.
Reflecting on her milestone, Mindy penned an emotional note on Instagram, calling the day “one of the most special days of my life.” She expressed gratitude for being surrounded by her closest friends and family during the ceremony, including her longtime friend BJ Novak, who delivered a heartfelt speech. “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 want to make my community proud of everything I do. 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,” Mindy wrote.
BJ Novak, known for his longstanding friendship with Mindy since their The Office days, praised her multifaceted impact during his speech: “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 saw several of Mindy’s close friends in attendance, including Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin, making the celebration even more memorable.
On the professional front, Priyanka Chopra is reportedly in talks to star in SS Rajamouli’s next big project alongside Mahesh Babu. While details remain under wraps, an official announcement is expected soon, further fueling excitement among her fans.
