Warning: Contains spoilers from Season 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d seen so much drama!<\/p>\n

Season 2 of \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d left viewers with the happy ending everyone had been pining for; Devi and Paxton were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Unfortunately, Daxton isn’t meant to be (at least for now) and there’s even a new love interest named Des (played by Anirudh Pisharody).<\/p>\n

\u201cSeason 3 ends in a way where we don’t know exactly what happens,\u201d Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who plays Devi, told Page Six. \u201cBut I was very very shocked by all the dramatic turns her love life takes, whether it was with the new character, Des, or the breakup with Paxton. I was like, ‘Dang!’\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramakrishnan said she can relate to Devi \u2026 to an extent.<\/p>\n

\"Maitreyi
\u201cI feel like I relate to her, in her journey being very universal,\u201d she told Page Six.<\/figcaption>

\u201cI feel like I relate to her, in her journey being very universal, in the sense of her self-love journey, I can definitely relate to that as I feel many people can relate tot to that because I haven’t always loved myself ,\u201d the Canadian-born actor explained. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think personality-wise, Devi and I are way more different,\u201d she continued, describing herself as \u201cmore chill\u201d because she cared less about her grades in high school. \u201cDevi is way more intense when it comes to school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazingly, \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d is Ramakrishnan’s first ever role.<\/p>\n

She was chosen by co-creator Mindy Kaling out of thousands of candidates after filming her audition tape at a local library using her mom’s camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to tell you that I felt I had a chance and that I felt confident,\u201d she explained with a laugh. \u201cThat was absolutely not the truth. I felt very much so like I was doing something for fun, a random video of me would be sent to these random people in LA and they would maybe get a laugh out of it and move on. I thought I had no chance but I was like, ‘Eh what’d I gotta lose?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramakrishnan, who called her casting a \u201cCinderella story,\u201d is also keenly aware of what her role means to South-East Asian girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo hear so many fans talk about how they feel so represented by the show, that warms my heart,\u201d she said. \u201cThat’s one of my favorite fan interactions because it’s so long overdue, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

And for whether she hopes Devi ends up with Paxton in Season 4, fans may be surprised by the answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am hoping that Devi ends up with true self-love and self-respect,\u201d Ramakrishnan replied.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
