Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the actress who plays Devi in Never Have I Ever, struck gold when she was cast in the lead role among 15,000 other applicants for the part. It is her first role on-screen and, so far, she is killing it with her delivery of comedic one-liners. Maitreyi told Variety that it was her friend’s idea to send in an audition recording and she did it with few expectations in mind.
“My best friend was the one who actually saw the tweet and she screenshotted it and sent it to me,” she said. “I’m lying on my couch, ready to take a nice afternoon nap… I remember feeling exhausted, but I was like, ‘OK, let’s do it,’ just because I honestly only wanted to hang out with my best friend.”
