After their viral dosa-making video shook the Indian American community four years ago, actor Mindy Kaling joked that she’s the one who “outed” Vice President Kamala Harris as Indian.

After their viral dosa-making video shook the Indian American community four years ago, actor Mindy Kaling joked that she’s the one who “outed” Vice President Kamala Harris as Indian.

During her speech on the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Kaling, 45, hearkened back to filming the video.

“For those of you who don’t know me, I am an incredibly famous Gen Z actress who you might recognize from ‘The Office,’ ‘The Mindy Project,’ or as the woman who courageously outed Kamala Harris as Indian in an Instagram cooking video,” she said.

Kaling says the two met for the first time when making that video and immediately clicked behind the scenes.

“She wasn’t Madam Vice President then. She was my senator,” she said. “When she arrived, we immediately hit it off. We talked about the love we have for our moms, who had both passed away from cancer.”
