Mindy Lahiri's boyfriends [1] on The Mindy Project range from the really weird to the really, really wonderful, but there's nobody quite like Danny Castellano. Chris Messina's studly character is a man's man with a big heart, and whether he's doling out stubborn advice or whipping out impressive dance moves, he manages to win our hearts over and over again. Mindy and Danny's road to romance [2] has definitely had its fair share of ups and downs, but Mindy Kaling has shared insights [3] into how their relationship will shift in season three: "Seeing two characters like that who are so different and would make virtually the opposite decision in every part of their day try to date has been really fun."
