Devi Vishwakumar and Ben Gross from Never have I Ever have always been mortal enemies. Watch Ben calling Devi &quot;David&quot; and know why.

WATCH: Every Time Ben Hilariously Called Devi “David” Instead of Her Name in ‘Never Have I Ever’

Never Have I Ever isn’t just some normal teenage drama. It’s a clean comedy with
a lot of intellectual jokes. But it isn’t just up to that. The show somewhere
makes you feel very familiar with situations around you. For instance, have you
ever met someone with a normal or maybe a weird name that you couldn’t
pronounce, so now you call them by a different one? There’s a similar case in
Never Have I Ever with the protagonist Devi and her “arch nemesis” Ben Gross.

Although they dated briefly in season 2 and Devi was in a relationship with
Paxton Hall-Yoshida at the start of season 3, Ben still holds feelings for her.
They started the series as bitter competitors and intellectual rivals. Fans are
divided about whether Devi would get along with Ben or Paxton better, and
depending on your perspective, Ben’s use of the name “David” for Devi may work
for or against him.

NEVER HAVE I EVER CALLED A DEVI “DAVID”

Ben started referring to Devi as “David” to torment her and get under her skin
while their competitive rivalry was in full swing. Devi didn’t care about it and
usually responded to Ben’s mocking with a clever one of her own. Since the first
episode of Never Have I Ever, the term has been a part of their relationship

It is still there in season 3. But as their relationship deepened at the
conclusion of season 1 and into season 2, Ben began to address Devi by her true
name. You can watch Ben calling Devi “David” in this YouTube short

In Never Have I Ever, Devi and Ben are presented as fierce rivals who try to
outshine one another in the classroom. They have been in a continual state of
competition. That caused them to become more resentful toward one another since
they were kids. Ben agrees to take Devi

all the way to Malibu. He did that so that she may be with her family when they
scatter her father, Mohan’s, ashes. This eventually lessens their animosity
towards the conclusion of season 1.



After Ben traveled so far and waited to make sure Devi was okay, the first
season finished with the couple sharing a passionate kiss. They even dated for a
short while in season 2, but she doesn’t disclose that she’s also seeing
dreamboat Paxton Hall-Yoshida

Hence, when that’s uncovered, both the boys break up with her. By the conclusion
of season 2, Devi and Paxton reconcile. However, Ben’s storming out when he
witnesses the couple kiss raises the possibility that he still has emotions for
her.

By the end of season 3, Devi realizes she still has feelings for Ben. Season 3’s
finale episode ended with them kissing and Devi sitting at the door. Let us know
in the comments whether you’re team Ben or team Paxton.
