Maitreiyi Ramakrishnan welcoming nature touched the heart of Ms. Marvel Iman Vellani as they talked endlessly during Toronto festival

When Shawarma Led The Way To A Beautiful Friendship For &#8216;Ms. Marvel&#8217; Star Iman Vellani And &#8216;Never Have I Ever&#8217;s Maitreiyi Ramakrishnan

When two kindred souls meet each other, things just click. Something similar
happened to Iman Vellani and Maitreiyi Ramakrishnan when they met at the Toronto
International Film Festival. Iman Vellani is a Canadian actress, who got her
first break in Hollywood with the Ms. Marvel miniseries on Disney. Likewise,
Maitreiyi Ramakrishnan got her big break by becoming the face of the renowned
comedy-drama Never Have I Ever, which focuses on an Indian-American high
school student.



And meeting someone from your culture and background in a country where you know
very few people feels amazing. Somehow the Asian touch to their souls became a
thread of connection between Maitreiyi and Vellani as she once told Bustle
Booth. Apparently, their friendship blossomed over shawarma. Let’s see how these
two became friends after their first meeting! 


MAITREIYI RAMAKRISHNAN AND IMAN VELLANI BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER IN TORONTO

In one of her interviews with Bustle, Vellani revealed how amazing her journey
was, from being a normal high schooler in Ontario to becoming a star. After
becoming the MCU’s first Pakistani American character (Kamala Khan), she
received viewers’ attention.

This was the point when she met lovely Maitreiyi when they both were invited to
the Toronto Festival. The young actress found a new ally in Never Have I Ever
star as both the girls became famous with their debuts in the blink of an eye.
So they exchanged numbers and went together to eat some shawarma, Vellani told
Bustle

which was the beginning of their beautiful friendship.

Apparently, they “talked for like five hours straight without breathing, just
throwing stories at each other,” stated Vellani about their endless chit-chat in
the function.

Having someone who truly understands you is satisfying when you feel alone in a
new world. And this is what Iman Vellani felt after meeting Maitreiyi
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/maitreiyi-ramakrishnan]. She added both of them
had similar experiences when they entered television. And it is very comforting
for her to know that there is someone like her. Because in this enormous
industry, it becomes easier to discover your unique identity if you have
encouraging people around.

Meanwhile, Iman’s role in Ms. Marvel has brought her so much experience of being
a Pakistani from roots while embracing it for good reasons. And now, she
believes that sticking with people is the biggest power one can have in this
glistening world of fame. What do you think of this beautiful friendship between
the two actresses?
