Mindy Kaling Says it Was Difficult Playing B.J. Novak's 'Office' Love Interest After Their Split!

Mindy Kaling rocks a red-and-black ensemble as she gets ready for her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Saturday (October 3) in New York City.

The 37-year-old actress was spotted filming a skit with host Stephen Colbert where the two go on a shopping trip together.

Mindy also recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live to promote her new book “Why Not Me?” and revealed that it was a bit difficult to play B.J. Novak‘s love interest on The Office after their real-life split!

“I knew you were gonna bring up B.J.!” she told host Andy Cohen. “I can’t speak [for] him, [but] I think for me it was challenging to be in your mid-20s – I’m such a sentimental person and I take things very hard – but that’s the nice thing about being in long friendships. That was, like, 12 years ago when that happened, so you get over things like that, but it totally was very challenging.”
