The man came up to the 35-year-old 'The Mindy Project' actress to congratulate her for her Nobel Prize, "expressing wonder at how well she had recovered from Taliban gunshots."

After the man left, Kaling said, "Did he really think I'm Malala? And that if I were, I'd be at the Boom Boom Room?" "That's the best thing that's happened all night," she added.
