We clung to each other with blind loyalty, like Lord Voldemort and his snake, Nagini. I, of course, was Nagini. If you messed with one of us, you knew you messed with both of us, and Voldemort was going to cast a murder spell on you, or Nagini was going to chomp on your jugular.
Mindy Kaling reflects on the deep bond she shares with someone close to her, comparing their loyalty to that of the infamous duo Lord Voldemort and his snake, Nagini. She humorously positions herself as Nagini, emphasizing how fiercely they stand by one another. Their relationship is portrayed as inseparable, with an underlying threat to anyone who dares to come between them.
The comparison highlights not only the strength of their connection but also the protective instinct they share. Kaling’s use of this literary reference brings a playful yet intense facet to their friendship, suggesting that tampering with their bond could lead to serious consequences, much like the dark power associated with Voldemort.
