“You know, I had a great time. I noticed that whenever I do something, anything related to Meghan, it becomes… big news,” Kaling noted.

“We were making sandwiches, and then they’ll push in on my face on TikTok and they’ll be like, ‘Look at this emotion you felt,’ and I honestly didn’t even remember it because we shot it like, nine months ago.”

“I loved my time with Meghan,” Kaling shared of the filming of the eight-part series, ‘I’m also like, let her promote her show… it was great and really fascinating seeing the reaction.”

During the Netflix show, Meghan went on to explain why she liked using the Sussex surname.

“[When] you have kids you go, ‘no, I share my name with my children’ and that feels so… I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go ‘this is our family name, our little family name’,” she told Kaling.

The Office star took the feedback, telling her hostess, “Well, now I know, and I love it.”
