While the Tamil-Canadian actor hoped the Mindy Kaling-helmed show would earn traction with audiences, its coupling of beautifully awkward romantics with very real, very human hardships are what have elevated the series into its own league. Members of the NHIE crew anticipated Ramakrishnan cracking under pressure within the first week, but with season three already in the can and premiering this August, she has proven her chops.

Ramakrishnan plays Devi Vishwakumar-an Indian-American hot-head stumbling through high school, while coping with the loss of her father. This was, in fact, Ramakrishnan’s induction to the coming of age comedy-drama, Never Have I Ever (NHIE), which has amassed devoted fans and critical acclaim in its soon-to-be third season. In the blink of an eye, the stakes have skyrocketed and ‘firsts’ appear to have lost their tenderness.
