RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi Vishwakumar) Mom, you're being such a. JAGANNATHAN: (As Nalini Vishwakumar) Dad's not here. He wouldn't want you to sell it to a discount Luke Wilson. RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi Vishwakumar) But it's Dad's.

And every year I can go leave flowers on the part of the highway where you died in a horrible accident. JAGANNATHAN: (As Nalini Vishwakumar) Sure. RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi Vishwakumar) What? You can't sell it. POORNA JAGANNATHAN: (As Nalini Vishwakumar) Andrew here was just thinking of buying Dad's old moped. KHALID: But also, I just think the mother-daughter relationship on screen is something we don't often see, right? Like, Devi is this headstrong teenager dealing with this strict South Asian mom, and it feels like they're constantly talking past one another. Part of why, I will say candidly, I love this show is that I never saw a teenage show like this growing up - right? - with a brown girl. KHALID: So one of the most interesting aspects of this show to me has been the mother-daughter relationship. You know, just all those ways that even if you're not a young, brown woman watching the show, you still see yourself in Devi because she is kind of the ultimate mirror of our own insecurities and judgments. Just when it comes to that self-love journey, when it comes to acknowledging the insecurities that we have and acknowledging, like, hey, I feel a lot, and I have a lot of emotions, and sometimes I don't know what to do with them, and I kind of freak out. I definitely, though, do relate to Devi in the ways that make her very human and are in the ways that a lot of people relate to her. Because I'll be honest, she's kind of unlikable in some way. KHALID: I imagine you personally do identify with some aspects of Devi's character, though I hope not all. Now, in Season 4, we see who this person is, and we've seen the result of all of her mistakes come in the form of, OK, I need to be better to not just myself, but my friends and my family and, you know, my loved ones. And I need to work on myself, which means, you know, truly loving yourself and being able to be comfortable with your own silence.

RAMAKRISHNAN: She has definitely grown as a young woman into being someone who recognizes, like, hey, I am not as great off as I think I am mentally. But as the show wraps up with its fourth and final season, Ramakrishnan says Devi has embraced self-love and acceptance. Devi is, after all, still dealing with the trauma of losing her dad. KHALID: Devi is played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who admits her character is messy. RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi Vishwakumar) Yeah. KHALID: And then there's the hot guy, the popular star athlete, Paxton Hall-Yoshida.ĭARREN BARNET: (As Paxton Hall-Yoshida) So, should we dance? LEWISON: (As Ben Gross) My doctor says any day now. RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi Vishwakumar) At least I can grow a mustache. JAREN LEWISON: (As Ben Gross) You shouldn't wear so much makeup. There's her academic rival, the nerd, Ben Gross. KHALID: Devi has two main love interests. MAITREYI RAMAKRISHNAN: (As Devi Vishwakumar) Buckle up for some steamy teen romance.
