Mindy Kaling knows how to write a hilariously likable heroine, a parade of bumbling side characters, and some of the most chaotic relationships the age of dating apps has ever seen. Pretty much every couple in the Mindy Kaling Television Universe is messy, miscommunicating, and occasionally doomed, but we love them for it. Boy, do we love them.
From Running Point to Never Have I Ever, from The Mindy Project to The Sex Lives of College Girls, nothing quite beats a well-crafted Mindy Kaling romance. (She loves a good slow burn.) Some were written by Kaling to be played by Kaling herself, while others were brought to life by stars like Renée Rapp, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and even rom-com royalty Kate Hudson.
