“Even on set, I never really felt nervous about

it,” Ramakrishnan said. “First of all, (Mindy)

never put any crazy weird pressure on me.

She made it very easy and welcoming to

just let me experiment and try it out. She’s

very understanding.”

In fact, Ramakrishnan said she bonded

with Kaling over the part. “We would have

conversations about certain scenes and finding

our truth within Devi together.”

Although the possibility of a second season

remains unresolved, Ramakrishnan said she

has been grateful for the experience and the

opportunity to learn.

“I remember on the first day of filming I had to

keep asking my co-star, Ramona Young, ‘What’s

this rehearsal? What’s a first team? Are we a first

team? What does this mean? What is that?’” she

said. “And by the end of the first week I felt really

confident but throughout the whole process

I was always trying to constantly learn every

single thing whether it was from the hair and

makeup department, the camera crew, anybody

that was willing to teach me anything, I just

wanted to know.”

Young and another co-star, Lee Rodriguez,

said they’ve been impressed by Ramakrishnan,

considering she had the least amount of on-set

experience of all of them.

“Her first time being in Hollywood, her first time

being a lead,” Rodriguez said. “She’s doing a

great job, honestly. She’s like our fearless leader

right now.”

Young added: “First day she asked me what a

marking rehearsal is. Now look at her.”
