Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, star of Netflix’s new series Never Have I Ever, is one of those rare teen celebs who has absolutely no idea how talented, personable and likeable she is, which might just very well be the making of her.

In this week’s episode of Just the Zoom of Us, Cosmo’s editor in chief, Milli Midwood, chats to the Maitreyi about the lessons she learned from Mindy Kaling, her cheeky high school character Devi Vishwakumar, and how the 18-year-old actor is blazing the trail for first generation Indian girls in the Western world.
