Mindy Kaling

and B.J. Novak grew up just a few miles away from each other in the Boston area, but apparently didn’t meet until they were in Los Angeles. Since working together on The Office, the two close friends have seen their acting and writing careers continue to flourish — Kaling’s in particular.

In support of his friend, Novak shared a particularly touching observation of the Cambridge native’s ascendance while outside her old apartment in West Hollywood.

“When I met @mindykaling she lived in a small apartment on Fairfax Ave. This is what’s in front of that building today,” the Newton native tweeted Friday, posting a photo of a bus-stop advertisement for Kaling’s new movie, A Wrinkle in Time.

“Congrats Mindy and a future congrats to all those who see you in it and are inspired to do great things,” Novak added.

His message didn’t go unnoticed by his real-life office frenemy.

“Oh my god I’m like full crying,” Kaling tweeted. “I will never be mad at you again.”
