During the event, Mindy Kaling was accompanied by her kids’ godfather, BJ Novak. Speaking on her behalf, the actor-comedian referred to Mindy as an “incredible mother of three.”

BJ Novak said, “Mindy respects and understands [fame] in a very intuitive way, in addition to being a brilliant and wildly successful showrunner, an incredible mother of three, a deep and caring daughter and friend and mentor to so many,” as quoted by People.

The actor added, “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.”
