Mindy Kaling Relates to Michael Scott on Show

Mindy Kaling, during her recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, expressed how her life as a mother has made her relate more to Michael Scott from The Office than her own character, Kelly Kapoor. Kaling reflected on a specific scene where Michael, as a child, expresses a desire to have 100 kids for friendship, which she found humorous at 25 but now resonates with her as a mother of three. She joked about looking forward to her daughters, Katherine and Anne, and son Spencer growing up to become her 'pals' and has started saving her red carpet gowns for them. Kaling's transformation into a more nurturing figure mirrors the sentiment that parenting can reshape one’s perspective on friendships and relationships. Despite her comedic career, she continues to navigate the complexities of motherhood, revealing that she has not disclosed the father of her children.
