Never Have I Ever star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan has landed two nominations in the 48th edition of the People’s Choice Awards — Female TV star of 2022 and Comedy TV star of 2022 — for her portrayal of Devi Viswakumar in the popular Netflix teen drama.
The Tamil-Canadian actress’s Instagram is a treat to her fans who get to see a unique avatar of the actress. Here’re some glimpses of Maitreyi on social media.
The 20-year-old actress posted a video to show her slightly made-up reaction to the news of her double nomination.
Maitreyi is an avid cosplayer and previously cosplayed as Lisa Minci, a supporting heroic character from the Chinese fantasy role-playing game Genshin Impact. She also dressed up as Princess Peach from the Nintendo game series Super Mario.
Her name contains 20 letters and she has fought off other people’s need to shorten her long name for their convenience. “Respect people’s names… Respect how they want it spelt and pronounced,” Maitreyi wrote in a post that has got a lot of love from fans. .
Maitreyi has been an outspoken advocate for diversity in entertainment since coming into the limelight. She spoke at the Canadian embassy in Washington DC about the importance of diversity and representation in media and how storytelling could be an effective tool for that.
The actress gets snapped with Indian-American comedian Hasan Minhaj, whose show The King’s Jester is streaming on Netflix.
Much like Devi and her friends, Maitreyi makes fun dance reels with her Never Have I Ever co-stars Lee Rodriguez and Ramona Young.
