Mindy Kaling was stunned when an interviewer brought up her relationship status while fielding questions ahead of the theatrical release of “Ocean’s 8”.
“Mindy, you play a jeweller. Now, you are not married and have never been engaged, so how do you know about diamonds? Cause it’s all about diamonds and stealing diamond necklaces,” the interviewer asked, as retold by Kaling on “Late Night with Seth Meyers”.

“So, he was basically like, ‘How, you, a famous spinster? How would you – you’ve never been anywhere near a diamond before. No man has ever – as though if you’re not married and engaged, you’ve never seen a diamond,” continued Kaling.
Meyers chimed in, suggesting the interviewer must have a “fundamental misunderstanding” of how acting works. “He was so incredulous,” Kaling replied. “He was like, ‘I can’t put this together! No man has ever loved you!’”
