The Mindy Project - Interview with Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina

For more coverage visit www.HITFIX.com. Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina sit down with Dan Fienberg to reveal their reaction to the promotion surrounding the show, and what brought Messina and Kaling together for the Fox comedy The Mindy Project

[@Vivalarachie]

You can tell she's thinking, "Ugh, why do people feel the need to ask about my physical appearance in every single interview?" Mindy Kaling is a comedic genius and I can't wait to see what else she comes up with for both the show and her career as a whole. So much love :)

[@2011lillian]

yeah "do you critique yourself when you see billboards?" umm would they ask other actresses that question?

[@76kitt]

2011lillian The interviewer was a douche.

[@ninninin656]

2011lillian And would the EVER ask an actor this? It's such a gendered question, ugh. Reminds me of when Scar Jo was asked about her diet on Avengers and all the guys got these deep questions about their acting.

[@hofanciao2046]

"I can't spend too much time thinking about it.... I have a lot of other things to think about.." LOLz

[@radsical1392]

Mindy is beautiful and hilarious, why do people always critique her looks?

[@Scriptease123]

Rads ical Because she's not anorexic like so many Hollywood actresses and they feel they have the right to critique her looks.

[@nince021]

I think she's actually really pretty. I'm not sure why people don't think she's "conventionally attractive". Just because she's not blonde?

[@seeann6986]

Female lead tropes and stereotypes my friend often comes with the audience's bizarre and stupid expectation that most of it should be portrayed by a beautifu,l "sexy" (ugh) woman which does not match everyone realistic physical description. That's why I'm picky when it comes to film.

[@Ls-wr1cg]

I lovelovelove how Mindy is just honest and tells people she loves it and thinks she looks cute instead of feeling the need to criticism herself.

[@TachaMusic]

the way chris look and smile at mindy *.*

[@KatinkaMaika]

everytime they're together somewhere they're complimenting each other and they have a lot of chemistry. I'm calling it - they're gonna end up together (I don't care what their acutal current relationship status is) ;-)

[@flala2261]

KatinkaMaika Finale airs tomorrow So I guess we’ll find out! 🤞🤞

[@MrBGB2012]

Beauty and brains! Now,those are both qualities I can admire in a woman!

[@lady__katie__]

0:56 ummm my heart just exploded!

[@rajinip8885]

LOVING Mindy, she is so funny and easy to identify with... I'm definitely a Mindian :P

[@adelsaid2835]

does no one else see the tension.. wow

[@possiblyfading1]

Even in the show, Mindy brings our attention to how people are quick to judge characters based entirely on their physical appearance, in her case, every choice is questioned. It's an awesome show. I loved how the show even brought characters like Jody and Mindy together. The way their relationship moves forward is beautiful and I think their romance would have been lovely. But I guess everyone just wanted Dan and Mindy to end up together.

[@bleadzeking1]

Best part of the show is still when danny was running to the Empire State Building to meet mindy and they was playing that type of rocky song

[@bls5160]

Since last night it was Danny stripping for Mindy to "American Women". Best moment ever but the whole show is always great. Best show on tv right now!

[@DJoy221]

bls5160 YAAASSSSSSSSSS I bought the episode on iTunes as soon as it was available and I watched the last minute about 10 times on loop lol I have a problem and I don't even care :D

[@bls5160]

Dee Joy Me too. I could watch him dancing for her over and over. So sexy, he really has the moves, doesn't he?

[@Tima-oz5te]

Bleadze King that will always be my favourite episode ☺

[@Scriptease123]

That that song is "Drive" by The Cars.

[@ProCentralTV]

love this show..Chris Messina is Hot!!

[@italiaveg90]

They both are differently perfectly beautiful

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

I love how the interviewer was a bit of a douche - and Chris made a point of stressing how great a boss she was. Like let’s focus on the work not my physical appearance on a poster

[@khiaratt]

The show was amazing! I loved their chemistry 💓

[@doitlikeaBROTHA]

Love them together ugggh

[@Gabby697]

they have total chemistry

[@The-bi5ry]

She looks so beautiful with her hair styled like this! And she's a comedic genius and a super nice person in general.

[@TheJoker718]

Ugghh Chris is soooo hot

[@tannaz1262]

Mindy has a beautiful smile 😍 she is soo attractive! So glad the world has become more global and diversified beauty standards

[@elenavaso]

This show is so different ad funny

[@RandomExclusive]

0:58 HE EYES LOOKS UP WHEN HE SAYS MINDY OMG LET ME LOVE YOU BOTH AS A COUPLE OMG

[@fiyade6476]

they luuuuuuv each other. lol

[@sarkar7567]

Mindy + Danny = LOVE

[@maxpalombella11]

I think Chris Messina would make an amazing Frank Castle/Punisher.

[@stupidflounders]

Didn't think I'd like this show, but I love it. She is so funny, and I do like how it looks like they are going to get together (and I think they will) but they are not doing the obvious things with them. Very well written show.

[@avarageplayer200]

Mindy is an awesome person.. I met her

[@anybody606]

these two are perfect together!!!

[@justbecca87]

She is literally my idol! Love her such a role model :)

[@lissyx1]

I love mindy and chris!

[@MJLuckyStar]

I had a 5 minute look at an episode on TV and didn't like it . When I got bored I decided to look it up and watch it from the beginning and it became my favorite show :) Love Mindy and all the other characters :D

[@Scriptease123]

MJLuckyStar Yeah, you really have to watch it from the beginning.

[@piffyqueen1]

I want Danny & Mindy together!!

[@amirawazwaz7122]

Favorite show of all time currently re watching

[@campwasted]

Totally loving Mindy right now, disappointed it has a 15 episode order for season 3, but much better that then cancelled though.

[@oreo12ish]

I love the mindy project it's such an amazing show!!

[@heheh92]

Mindy is so pretty. Just because she's not white or ethnically ambiguous they're always asking about her looks. *eye roll* she's so sexy. I just wish she never got those lip fillers her smaller lips suited her face and made her look more girly.

[@Ajay_Jain_2023]

Love you for being you ❤️

[@SleepIntoTheDiamondLife]

probably because she loved herself more with the lip fillers and there's no problem with that. as long as she loves herself, there's no problem with anything.

[@charitygibson6347]

my daughter loves Mindy project

[@xxmini09xx]

I love them both so much!

[@chalenegirl1]

[@TheSnicol1997]

Mindy is so beautiful!!

[@piffyqueen1]

i get they might be kinda weird but i do want them to realize that they have feelings for each other. i don't want them to ruin their relationship though!

[@synystersexybeast]

Season 1 has ended. Let's wait for season 2 :)

[@hannahgrace37]

when have you ever seen a show with a main character that is an OBGYN? Because I haven't....

[@Scriptease123]

Hannah Grace Her mother was an OB/GYN so it's a world that she knows.

[@Jaczzx]

i adore mindy - 2020

[@toshbellington333]

Beautiful and funny 😀

[@BobbyBeee]

she is so funny on the show. I just did a review of the show on my channel too.

[@ericboehm594]

i just met her!

[@kimrachel3770]

the mindy project is sooo funny!!!

[@Jivanya]

I wish Mindy had a sister instead of a brother on the show.

[@flipoutitsfay]

If you like the show, you should like her. It's a lot of her writing. She's quite the funny gal and she's not conventionally attractive, but so what? She's a comedian, that's not what matters.

[@1happimac]

lolzzl..yes, my point exactly, but I think there are other elements involved as well....

[@DGenerationX1311]

Ps when is the next Mindy project episode? The episode after take me with you. When she cuts her hair.

[@justcallmeroomie]

She's hilarious! So natural

[@queenbigb]

EPISODE 7! Why have I only seen 3.

[@shavette27]

Danny oh Danny

[@malloryosullivan1758]

RIP

[@ino9201]

Who died

[@thepurplerookie]

First question just lame !

[@malika42right]

Danny is hotttttt

[@noevoe978]

Can't happen too soon, though!

[@RyanCRobert]

YES. THANK YOU! Someone who actually agrees with me. Not to mention it's just SO painfully obvious that they'd get together. And I hate when shows go for obvious plot lines.

[@VinnySmiles01]

She's do pretty.

[@Ms.asiaaustin]

september 17 2013

[@flipoutitsfay]

Possibly because doctors are the most important people in the world..

[@starquality1987]

That's such a shitty thing to say. Go, Mindy your ace!

[@saeefa]

well done, now can you please tell me which continent is India in??? here's a hint, its not south america.

[@samaraisnt]

This interviewer....

[@1happimac]

Well, cant find my comment (hmmm, interesting), but I gotta say something about Hollywood's fascination with Physicians. I mean, why cant she be a suit Salesman or a plumber?!?! Why is it ALWAYS A medical person?? Talk about Hollywood writers living vicariously through other people., ya know?

[@Scriptease123]

1happimac Maybe because her mother was an OB/GYN so she was familiar with that world.

[@christinegangai1608]

What a terrible interviewer! How do you mess up an interview with comedic actors? Neither Mindy or Chris are at ease and his questions are just silly. Mind's signature wit and humour is missing too :(

[@thensome8663]

what kind of fucking questions are these???

[@1happimac]

huh?

[@spidermeen88]

mindy kind a look like batman to me...

[@1happimac]

yes, COPS and Doctors....WTF, man ?!

[@thenothings2]

pull a ross and rachel....that is all

[@flipoutitsfay]

what

[@JennyBunny240]

I think Mindy and Danny together would be weird, i like the awkardness of wanting them to realise they are cute together, but part of me feels like its more of a brother sister relationship :)

[@gvg2502]

she's indian lol

[@maryboo527]

I hate how theyre supposed to get together but uh he told her to lose 15 pounds like I would nvr forgive him

[@peachrocker1]

ofcourse she casted an attractive white guy

[@krahung]

Loved The Office. Sorry but this show sucks
