Currently lives in: Mississauga, Ont.First job out of school: “Devi” in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever
“I didn’t see many South Asian role models in film when I was growing up,” says Ramakrishnan. “And I’m a firm believer that if you don’t see what you want [to see] in the media or in the world in general, go be it. That’s your time to make that space.” With that in mind, Ramakrishnan sent in her tape.
That may be true, but finding out that she landed the lead role in Kaling’s Netflix series is likely a close second. “The moment I got the call, it was just pure shock,” says Ramakrishnan. “It was just so surreal, but all I knew was my life was totally going to start changing, and I was just filled with happiness.” She says the whole thing didn’t feel real until she was on the plane to L.A., and it really sunk in when she stepped onto her first-ever film set.
