More about Mindy Kaling

Other than this, the Legally Blonde 3 producer was recently seen in a very popular music video. Kaling managed to turn some heads after being a part of a collaboration with the 5 Grammy Arawd winner, Billie Eilish. She and other cast members of The Office were seen in a Billie Eilish song, My Strange Addiction. Initially, Mindy was reportedly told that a young songwriter was looking to make a song out of clips of The Office. Mindy didn’t know the singer but certainly gave a yes in order to support the singer. Mindy Kaling happens to be one of the featured voices talking about the film after a screening. She also mentioned that “The song samples different parts of The Office because she loves the show so much”.
