B.J. Novak is godfather to Mindy Kaling's daughter

Actress Mindy Kaling says actor B.J. Novak is godfather to her 16-month-old daughter.

Opening about their friendship, which began when they shared the screen together on "The Office", the 39-year-old actress and writer revealed that the pair are so close that Novak is actually godfather to her daughter Katherine Swati, reports people.com.

"The truth is that B.J. is so much more like family now than a platonic friend. He's the godfather to my daughter," Kaling told Good Housekeeping.

"He comes over like once a week. Sometimes he'll come over just to hang out with her," she added.
