![]() They would never let me look dumb or do a bad job. I’ve just got to trust that people will be looking out for me, especially Mindy and Lang. And if you sucked, we would tell you.” I’ve got to trust the people that I trusted equally in Season 1 when I had no idea what all the technical terms meant when it came to filming. I expressed all of these anxieties to Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher - and I love them so much, I don’t know how they deal with that - but they were like, “Hey, you got this, you’re good. Honestly, I had a lot of anxiety, and that’s not an exaggeration. How did you push past that pressure and those nerves? There’s so many different characters that I think will push it forward and make a nice show for people to see. And then we have Aneesa challenging Devi. We have Nirmala coming in as Devi’s grandmother, which is actually one of my favorite plots, because soft spot for the grandmas. It’s all heightened everything is just taken to another notch, because we’re diving into those characters deeper, because we have new characters to push them deeper. All the friends stuff between the girls in the UN - heightened. All of the drama and love triangle stuff that everyone likes - boom. ![]() I feel like it ups the ante in pretty much almost every single way. ![]() What are you most excited for people to get a chance to see this season? Here, Ramakrishnan talks about Season 2 of “Never Have I Ever” and what she hopes to explore next with Devi. But it’s not all heavy the show’s 10-episode run also includes Devi getting into typical teenage hijinks, like getting a nose ring, much to the delight of Ramakrishnan, who’s had her nose pierced for years. In addition to the romantic rendezvous, the Netflix comedy’s second season also required Ramakrishnan to push herself as an actor, as Devi begins to really explore her grief after her father’s death (which kicked off much of the show’s plot). “And then watch them all end up in the same college and then we’re screwed.” As for what Ramakrishnan thinks will finally draw this romantic roller-coaster to a close? Complicating matters even more, is Sherman Oaks High School’s newest student, another young Indian American girl named Aneesa (Megan Suri). When Devi decides to date both boys in Season 2, it’s quickly apparent that this love triangle won’t be coming to an end anytime soon. “I don’t want people to think I’m swayed.” But she reinforces the fact that she is “Team Devi” and says she’s always really careful with her words about the debate. “I love seeing the debates that people have on Twitter,” Ramakrishnan says. Social media battle lines were firmly drawn between Team Paxton and Team Ben after Season 1 ended with Devi and Ben sharing their first kiss, while Paxton showed up at her house unexpectedly to apologize for ghosting her after they’d finally kissed. Plus, fans want answers to the show’s biggest question - will Devi end up the super-hot jock Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet) or her nemesis-turned-crush Ben Gross (Jaren Lewison)? With fans already on her social media accounts clamoring for third season of the show, the actor’s been feeling a mix of emotions - lots of excitement with that consistent reminder that there’s a lot to live up to. “But there is a little bit of pressure because you want to deliver.” “It’s really awesome because, here we are able to still tell this amazing story, especially in COVID times, where that’s not the case for some shows,” Ramakrishnan tells Variety. ![]()
