Kelly Rajnigandha Kapoor (February 5, 1980) is a fictional character from the US television series The Office. She is played by Mindy Kaling, who is also a writer and producer for the show.
Slate magazine called the character one of the reasons to look forward to the return of the show in fall 2007.
Kaling left the cast and crew after its 8th season to become the creator and star of The Mindy Project, another show produced by Universal Television. She has a guest role in the 9th season premiere, and the series finale.
Kelly Kapoor is a customer service representative at the Scranton branch of fictitious paper distributor Dunder Mifflin. Kelly is the office chatterbox, usually on topics that a teenager might discuss, such as boys, dating, and celebrity gossip. She has said that she wants to get married, and that she cannot wait to "get pregnant and have babies." Her closest counterpart in the British series is Donna, although they are not similar in terms of personality.
Kelly is an Indian American although she frequently makes incorrect statements about her heritage or religion. Her parents were brought together through an arranged marriage and she has three living sisters, as well as another who died.
