For her new Netflix series “Never Have I Ever,” Mindy Kaling picked Canadian teen Maitreyi Ramakrishnan from an open call of 15,000 hopefuls.
Comedic snark abounds in Season 2 of “Never Have I Ever,” which finds Devi mired in more messes of her own making. While she waits for her mother to make good on the threat of moving her to India, a new girl arrives on the scene, and all of a sudden Devi’s not the only South Asian girl at Sherman Oaks High. Nalini must put up with her daughter’s larks while coming to terms with her beloved husband’s untimely death, reconnecting with her mother-in-law and meeting a potential love interest.
Jagannathan credits much of the show’s brash honesty and fearless exploration of identity and sexuality to Kaling’s sensibilities. “I remember reading for [Season 1’s], which I think is just the funniest. Mindy stood up and was like, ‘Oh, my God, this is so triggering.’ So much of her comedy comes from what triggers her. It comes from her deepest vulnerabilities. That’s why she’s so good,” said Jagannathan. “And she’s not leaving a trail of crumbs in her wake.
“It was such a profound lesson in seeing art and activism collide,” she said. “We were seeing how a system could be dismantled just by the power of truth and how shame could be shifted from the survivor to the perpetrator where it rightly belongs. I think great art follows Newton’s third principle; it has a sort of luminosity to it that is in opposition to the darkness it may have been born out of.
Hey, give Hollywood a chance. They're trying to get insignificant bones thrown to every ethnic group they can. They'll get to South Asian women eventually.
