Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is nostalgic and wants to hold on to her on-screen avatar, Devi Vishwakarma, a little more.

&#8220;Oh God, it is ending&#8221;: Maitreyi Ramakrishnan Shares Her Gratitude For &#8216;Never Have I Ever&#8217;, Calls It &#8220;groundbreaking and histroy-changing&#8221;

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, or Devi Vishwakarma, as we popularly know her, moves with
a graceful charisma. While her character is a rebellious and nerdy teenager, who
can never stay out of trouble. Maitreyi carries herself with confidence and a
firm form of language. Her character deals with the loss of her father and
coming of age hijinks humorously.

Apparently, the series will conclude in 4 seasons. Sure, high school does not
last forever, but it makes us kind of sad to digest this fact. We have always
had a guilty pleasure to watch Devi fight through her fights. With all the
messiness, LOLs, and steamy romance…it will be hard to say goodbye to her after
her senior year. Well, it’s not just us; Maitreyi herself is a little nostalgic
and wants to hold on to her on-screen avatar a little more.


THE SHOW HAS CHANGED THE LIFE OF MAITREYI RAMAKRISHNAN

Each one of us has a turning point in our life. The one that changes us
completely. Never Have I Ever
[https://netflixjunkie.com/mindy-kaling-and-lang-fisher-confirms-never-have-i-ever-season-3-release-and-season-4-status/] is
one such occurrence in Maitreyi’s life. She shares with Deadline how she was
just a 17-year high school-going girl before the show. She celebrates her
achievement and expresses her gratitude toward the show.

“I was just a regular 17-year-old high school girl, living her best life and
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Now I can say I was a part of something that’s
groundbreaking, and history-changing,” she tells Deadline. “It’s been such an
honor. There are no words to express how grateful I am for everything that’s
happened thanks to Never Have I Ever.”

The interview took place in Netflix’s celebration of South Asian culture with
Bridgerton star Simon Ashley in Los Angeles. Looking around, Maitreyi
Ramakrishnan was extremely proud of her journey and boastfully said, growing up,
she never saw herself on screen.

“Young girls like me didn’t see themselves represented,” she shared. “Even
today, there’s still not a lot of representation but I know it’s only the
beginning. I hope that soon, they’ll have many characters to choose from that
they can fully relate to. I think we’re finally getting there. Everyone deserves
that representation.”

She further explained to Deadline
[https://deadline.com/2022/03/never-have-i-ever-star-maitreyi-ramakrishnan-season-4-1234991282/]
how this change is absolutely beautiful. “We can be so hard on ourselves that we
forget to celebrate these wins. I focus on how we’re gonna make some kids’ day a
little bit easier or how something we create might make a little girl’s day.
That is what’s phenomenal about all this, It’s really beautiful.”


MAITREYI IS NOT READY TO LET GO OF HER CHARACTER JUST YET

All the firsts are always special. And we silently hope that it stays with us
forever. Ramakrishnan, too, is too much obsessed with her character, Devi. “At
first, we got an email saying we’re going to be renewed for a fourth but final
season and I was like, ‘Oh, ok.’ And then when we started posting about it, it
hit me, ‘Oh God, it is ending,’” she exclaimed. “This is my first show. No
matter what I do—even if I get to do another show again—this one will always be
special. 

To conclude, Maitreyi’s character, Devi, is and always will be close to her
heart. And the series will always be her pride. Do let us know in the comment
