Being able to play a brown girl as my first role is just the cherry on top. That as an actor, in general, is the dream: Being able to play a character that you can sink your teeth into. We get to see her be a fully formed human being. She’s a young woman who is both smart but also bold and loud and goes through so many character arcs, has so many different relationships in her life. Devi was refreshing not just because she was a South Asian American protagonist, but because she defied stereotypes of brown girls. In a world where we barely get token representation, let alone authentic representation, (I got to play) a character that has the ability to have so many emotions and be so multifaceted. I lucked out with a very amazing role that some people could just dream of. Courtesy of NetflixĪnd then the role of Devi itself. In "Never Have I Ever," Devi is a high-achieving student who sometimes struggles to regulate her emotions. I got to grow with them through these four seasons. I also lucked out with my cast members and my crew members.
She has been there for me through thick and thin, and I love her to death – of course as someone who employs me, but also as someone who is there for me.
That’s one thing I don’t think I’ll ever comprehend: This was my first opportunity? This was my first job? I couldn’t ask for a better boss than Mindy Kaling. Now that “Never Have I Ever” has come to an end, how does it feel for this to have been your first major acting role? The conversation has been edited for length and clarity. “It’s the end of an era,” she said.ĬNN spoke to Ramakrishnan ahead of the Season 4 premiere about how it feels to be done with “Never Have I Ever,” what it was like to have Mindy Kaling as a first boss and what a show like this would have meant for her growing up. With the fourth and final season of “Never Have I Ever” now streaming, her turn as Devi is behind her. She voiced the character Priya Mangal in Pixar’s “ Turning Red,” and is set to play Lizzie Bennet in the upcoming rom-com “ The Netherfield Girls,” a contemporary take on “Pride and Prejudice.” Since then, Ramakrishnan, 21, has become a breakout star for her performance as the show’s smart and brazen protagonist. Ramakrishnan got a callback and then another one, ultimately beating out more than 15,000 people for the role of Devi Vishwakumar in the now-hit Netflix show “Never Have I Ever.”

It may seem like the love triangle has come to an end, but the stars have said in various interviews that there’s definitely more to come from their characters.Maitreyi Ramakrishnan was a high school student who had never acted professionally when in 2019, she responded to an open casting call from Mindy Kaling for a TV series about an Indian American teenager. Once all 10 episodes of the second season finally hit the streaming service nearly a year after the first, viewers finally found out who Devi chose. The Netflix series - which also stars Darren Barnet, Jaren Lewison, Ramona Young and Lee Rodriguez - aired its first season on Netflix in April 2020, and fans immediately wanted more from the 16-year-old and her epic love triangle between the school heartthrob Paxton (played by Darren) and her former enemy Ben (played by Jaren). But, of course, Ben’s obviously going to still be a player in the game.” “I have no idea because she is happy with Paxton and that’s happening officially. “It is going to be interesting to see what happens next,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight in July 2021, following the second season premiere.
Now that Devi made her choice between Paxton and Ben, is there more to come from the fictional high schooler? Never Have I Ever star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan sure does hope so!
