Maitreyi is such a natural Devi. Even out of the show she talks like Devi
A more mature Devi though.
She really IS Devi...without the trauma (I hope)
Yeee but like not annoying and makes good decisions lol
yea because that’s how she talks not some british 30 year old playing an american highschooler like most shows…
Gosh, all these women's hair. 😍😍😍
RIGHT LIKE-🥰
everyone have different and nice hairstyle
@@mahiraza2107 Right! Quite versatile
Lee Rodriguez is STUNNNNNNING....CANNOT take my eyes off her! Such a beauty
Y
I’m literally in love with her
So true 🥰 she’s gorgeous
Yesss this eyes. What a beauty
Yess looks like a model. Dayummm
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THESE AMAZING WOMEN OF COLOR. Y'ALL ARE AN INSPIRATION!!!
yes this cast is quite amazing
☺️
it's so weird to hear richa and poorna without accents
didnt they have an american accent?-
@@ruhee1216 nah they had like a very fake Indian accent
have they ever explained why they put on fake indian accents? i don't get it
@@candysweet434 probably coz their characters were born in india and moved to us later.. unlike devi who is in america all her life so we dont see a change in her accent
@@candysweet434 my parents have Indian accents cause they used to live in India and spoke that way all their life, like if you moved to India would you speak English with an Indian accent? No, you’d speak it in whatever accent you’re used to speaking it in rn. That’s why Devi has an American accent like me, cause I was born and raised here
Lee Rodríguez is so FREAKING gorgeous I can’t-
I have literally been in love with her since the first episode
Ikr she's 😍😍
Everybody is so freaking gorgeous 😅 they are so damm perfect
Righttt, she's very pretty and her makeup looks nicee
@Sasha أسد if you are not a racist it is good for you. Racism is nothing to relax over and it is not funny. Your previous statement was racist and you corrected it so I deleted my comment.
By the way who is the Nubian girl you are referring to?
As a brown girl, well now a quite old brown girl, I love the show, and i have waited 60 years for something like this!! it is brilliant and well executed. thank you
I LOVE how Poorna Jagannathan (Devi’s mom) is excited about her character’s love interest, who is, the way she said it, sooo hot. When Dr. Jackson and she first kissed on the show was a fulfillment despite the circumstances. And also I’m rooting for Kamala and Mr. K, the way he looked at her when she showed up at the school last episode season 2 was so heart-warming and vibrating.
I’m neither TEAM Paxton or TEAM Ben. I guess I like Ben a little more, but it’s gotta be admitted that Paxton went through a lot of positive changes.
Personally I think that Devi needs to be alone and work on herself for a while. Both guys are great, but Devi makes questionable decisions and she’s not ready for a relationship. I’m with you on that, neither team
No, what about Persian 😭
@@worthyfinds4955 he was great but I also think that that episode where he tried to subdue kamala hit different & not in a good way
@@worthyfinds4955 PRASHANT!!
@@Imjust_KEN was he? Hahaha sorry my bad
who else was shocked by Richa Moorjani's (Kamala) accent??
I feel like I can hear the Indian accent that she portrayed more in the show.
Oh my god Richa is just flawless, the way she looks and speaks. Damn!!
I think every Indian Parent is Team GEOMETRY BOOK. Her answer totally fits her character.
Ramona shoes are stunning, even though people don't talk a lot about her, I really like her, she seems to be a really nice person, she's really charming❤
Tbh, cos they’re teens and Devi is still in a process of maturing and development. I’m ok with her end up with either guys or no boyfriends at all. Most important thing is she learn to become better in her decisions and control her anger whenever needed. AKA Team Devi. One of my best friend had her mother died 2 years ago, she’s not a teenager anymore but to get over that and becoming more mature does take time. I witness her rant and angry but she’s maturing and handling them better. And still in the process while seeing a therapist as well.
I honestly needed this show, I feel like we aren’t represented enough in media and that’s why I love it so much
I absolutely love this show! I’m Indian, in my 40s and grew up in the US. I related to Devi in so many ways. I love the name too :)
I love the fact that Ramona is team Paxton☺️it’s interesting hearing the characters say there thoughts the show and who they rather see Devi with
I wish Devi and Paxton stayed together in season 3 because they are the best couple in the play
hearing them talk without their accents messes with my head
Richas accent omg I was not expecting that at all. she's so pretty
they took around a year for the second season and I finished it in 2 days..😭I wish there were more
I'm still Team Paxton ... His character development in Season 2 was the best ... Hope they don't ruin it in Season 3
omg yes!!!! team Paxton!
imo Ben is nice but they have so much in common with Devi which is not neccesairly good in a relationship, i imagine them as good friends... boys like Paxton are just over sexualized and stereotyped in general, like i am NOT an american teen but even in my country boys like him are just known for their looks, girls in my school was "oooh that boy is so hot" and that's all, they don't think or know anything about their personality, which is sad because most of them are so nice and kind despite their popularity and body. and that's the same thing with Paxton, it is so nice to see him change and develop as a boyfriend. unpopular nerdy girls CAN change popular boys from being such an a**hole to be a kind and loving and loyal boyfriend.
(well the thing is, i'm kinda biased because my current boyfriend was a popular hot boy in high school (i've known him since kindergarten but we went separate high schools, he was also my best friend before we started dating), he literally could hook up with 3 different girls in one party, and i was (and still i am) the unpopular weird geek girl with good grades who haven't had love life during the entire high school...and we ended up dating and we're together for 3 years now. and yep, he changed A LOT. )
The more I watch interviews about the show, the more I like the story and the characters. I can't stop watching it! Help me!
P.S.: Totally Team Devi... with Paxton. 😂😍
I am always gonna talk about how they are all stunning and oh Devi and Ben supremacy
i see people misinterpreting Paxton in the comments (idk how yall manage to do this when the show did such a good job of fleshing him out) so i'll spell it out for yall:
BEN is a reflection of Devi. They are very much the same. PAXTON is the sense of normalcy Devi has projected onto him. She put all her dreams of popularity and wanting to forget her father's death onto Paxton.
BOTH of these dynamics are worthwhile and special in their own ways, and Devi could very well end up with either or neither of them, and it would make a good story either way (if the writers do it right, that is).
Ben and Devi are both prickly insecure (lovable) assholes. They both strive to have more popularity than the other- Ben dates Shira for popularity and Devi also wants to become popular by getting w hot jock Paxton on the way. They're dynamic is i-know-all-the-worst-parts-of-you-because-were-the-one-and-the-same. That's why even when they're 'enemies and spitting curses at each other, there's an intimacy between them of knowing each other best.
BUT ben/devi shippers shouldn't use this to put down Paxton/Devi's dynamic, which is just as complex! If Ben/devi is the enemies-to-lovers dynamic, Paxton/Devi is the jock/nerd trope. Except there's something special about Paxton/Devi. Usually in the jock/nerd trope, it's the jock guy that doesn't really the nerd girl for who they really are, but when it comes to Devi/Paxton, it's Devi who's the one that isn't seeing Paxton for who he really is. When Devi's dad dies, she refuses to deal with her grief so she decides to fixate on her crush on Paxton. She sees Paxton as a means to not have to deal with her trauma. She even says to Dr. Ryan "hot people don't have problems", so she subconsciously she believes that getting with Paxton will make her problems go away. But Paxton doesn't know all this. All he knows is that this girl who's kind of snarky and kind of funny, is into him. And along the way, you can see that he genuinely starts to like her. Like when he rescues her at parties and then genuinely asks her what she was thinking, and doesn't laugh when she says she thought the coyote was her dad. Paxton isn't interested in hurling insults like Ben/Devi, he's honest about how he feels to Devi. That's why when it turns out Devi inadvertently spread rumors about them having sex he's hurt, because he feels like he's been used, which Devi kind of was. That's not to say that Paxton is *just* a prize to Devi, she really does like him, and he's shown to her that he's a good listener and also reliable in a crises, so she's able to often confide in him. It's just that Devi is still a little too wrapped up in her trauma to ~fully~ appreciate him for who he is, whereas Paxton's not the one who has that problem (and people will say that he called her a nerd in the last episode, and I'll reply that he was just trying to convince *himself* of that fact, not that he genuinely believes it. And he said it bc Nalini deeply wounded him the previous episode when she called him dumb so he tried to avoid Devi to avoid dealing with his own insecurities).
But that could very well change in season 2. If the writers want to make Ben/Devi a thing, it could be probably play out like Devi realizing that Ben knew all the worst parts of her and still stays, and developing into romance. But if the writers want to make Paxton/Devi a thing, it could be and important lesson for Devi to stop projecting her trauma onto other people and see them for who they really are, which is Paxton being his own person that's been there for her, and not just some hot jock that doesn't have any problems, and most importantly is honest and kind. Someone who would inspire her to be better.
Both of these relationships are incredibly important to the show and both dynamics bring out interesting parts of Devi, so let's not bash any characters, especially if/when Devi ends up with one or the other.
Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest because the way y'all talk about Paxton makes me wonder if ppl even watched the show, or if they just watched the Ben/Devi scenes and closed their eyes for the rest of it. I love Paxton because he's so much more than what Devi, Ben, or even the viewers think he is. He consistently proves himself better than their assumptions when he's kind and caring and also he's attractive. He's the whole package and I think that's why so many fans have such a knee-jerk reaction to disliking him- because he's simply better than y'all lmfao.
also it makes me sad bc there are soo many people who disregard or blatantly misinterpret Paxton, and with how writers nowadays check what fans are saying to cater to them instead of simply trying to write a good story, i have a feel devis either going to be with ben or alone since no one favors paxton.
Omg thank you for putting this out.
Thanks for writing this, and come back when you've watched season 2, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Paxton's character development 😊
@@patafoinification season 2 for Paxton really said ✨growth✨
@@naomiadeniji7812 really I felt he went in the opposite direction
@@isabellerobinson7203 I just think this season, he gained more substance and wasn’t just a pretty face imo. Idk maybe it’s the sapiosexual in me but I just found it so hot when he actually started caring about school 😭
CAN WE ALL APPRECIATE THESE QUEENS? Woooow, I love them all.
Before season 1, I was totally team Ben. Now, I don't really know what team I am! Paxton is really trying, but Ben has more chemistry with Devi... It's SO hard to choose.
I like the fact that the show was not just about Devi, every character had their good share of screen time.
People always stereotype Paxton, but at least the writers room has some people on his side, even if the show does sexualise him too much. Why are viewers so surface level when it comes to Paxton? They don't give him the time of day, it's Archie and Rafael Solano all over again...
So true they act like Paxton wasn’t gonna have anything else besides his looks and this season proved them wrong!
I never rooted for his character for that reason. He was boring and had no depth. He was just pretty boy. Which is why I was annoyed when Devi didn’t choose Ben immediately. This season gave him a lot more personality definitely though
Funny enough, the actor who plays Paxton tries out for the role of Archie in Riverside.
@@irrelevance3859 what do you think about his convo with Becca in s1 about being a douche?
rafael is completely different , i would say he’s more BEN . although ben is never sexualized , he’s the second love interest just as rafael was .
I really hope season 3 is exploring paxon and devi's relationship rather than going back to pushing the ben and paxton arguement. Devi should learn how to be in a healthy relationship, one where 1 arguement doesn't persuade you to want to be with ben, especially since ben has a girlfriend, (who might i mention is) Devi's only indian friend. Just let ben be jealous in his little corner with aneesa, Devi deserves her first real boyfriend
Omg yes!!!! THIS is exactly what I want from the next season
@@BarbieAshhh i’m so glad you agree 😭
I agree with everything written here! And also the next season to focus on Devi's development.
@@JaahnaviS Thank you so much!!
Ong you're right, The love triangle has been long enough. At least if they just revisit Ben in season 4 cuz maybe Paxton didn't work out. But leave the love triangle for now atleast. Ben n Devi should def stay close tho.
Yep Lee, I'm team Ben too... 🔝
TEAM PAXTON ❤️❤️❤️ Together, Devi and Paxton have grown as individuals and have grown as a couple, and I'm so happy for them!!
Sorry but for S1 and S2 still team Paxton. I really love his character development 💜💜💜
Yes, but I’m still team Ben
Nalini's pant suit is just 😍😍😍😍😍
Let's talk about the chemistry of Paxton and devi omgg 😭❤
Guys we all know who Devi is gonna end up with, its Ben. Everytime they are not together or one of them is with someone else the other is jealous.
Also on a separate side note:- Lee is just Fab, so amazingly beautiful. Love her accent too 😍
Lee is gorgeous and smart
It'll be really cool if paxton finds his passion in history. he adores his grandfather and did really well in that history assignment
Team Paxton! Let their relationship unfold a bit. It will be annoying to focus on the Ben vs. Paxton in the new season. Let the romance fight rest a bit and focus on Devi's healing.
i kinda want to see their relationship last for a few episodes before something comes up. the alternate route will be to let devi and ben be the settled couple and explore the differences in culture and customs and devi's trauma regarding her dad's death that paxton helps with, and have devi's mom accept paxton- thus creating focus on the lives of the friends and devi's family. the constant shift between these 2 boys will end up making the show go sour if it keeps getting repeated
Team Paxton forever
Team ANEESHA and paxton they should have been endgame...
@@janderson947 that will be fun tbh, but the amount of unnecessary and frankly boring drama that would have to take place. coz devi has cleared the air with anisa, anisa is happy w ben- even if ben feels bad about devi and paxton, theres no reason why, unless paxton's past or something comes up that the pair has to breakup. the way new girl moved on from the protagonist to explore the show further and keep it interesting seems like a good route
@@shalakaj523 true but technically I like paxton but she settling for him her heart is with hen the bathroom scene the apology scene,ge is there even through her flaws paxton is trying but he makes her question herself more than reassure although they hated eachother at first they knew eachother better than anyone and devi will always have that longing so does ben.
I am team Devi all the way, but I feel like Ben is good for her, and Devi is good for Paxton. Dang, the writers really did dirty on us in the end, I feel like they're both so great
Matriye just slays it she always manages to look sweet and pretty I love her style
Maitreyi*
Oh no..even the writers aren't sure at this point😲 anything can happen
As for me Paxton was great but I'm gonna say Ben has my heart😌🙌
Lee Rodríguez is soooooo beautiful!!! Love her character also. Love the show !!!
Team paxton im proud of him in this season
It’s fun seeing the actors as themselves, outside of their characters. Each and everyone of them are such beautiful people!
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
#teampaxton let's appreciate our boy he deserves all the loveee
I feel like Devi and Ben had a deeper connection than Paxton and Devi because Devi and Ben were kinda friends and Paxton was low key toxic
bruh How was Paxton toxic? Ben always provoked devi and got the whole scl to call her a UN and went around telling she faked her paralysis. Paxton was so nice to her from the start? He only distanced himself when she spread those rumours and her mom called him an idiot who ruins girls futures by getting them pregnant
@@princessprathapify 💯
Yesssssss
@@princessprathapify AND he literally let her live with him after Devi and her mom got into a fight and he also got Devi and her friends back together.
Team Paxton
They all look Dazzling 😍❤️!!!
This was 22 minutes, but it felt so SHORT. Omg, I luv them
Honestly I'm team Ben only bc Devi kinda wanted Paxton for his looks not his personality I think he grew a lot and would be a great boyfriend but I just think she connects to Ben more but I will be happy either way
Team Paxton
I completly agree with you, I like Paxton, but I think Ben and Devi are a better match
Me 2 I wanted paxton and ANEESHA to happen they would seem to click more in my opinion...
100% agree with the season 2 wardrobe! Nalini had the best one!
team ben🥰
Team Devi/Dad honestly sounds like a nice wrap up for the show. There’s a lot of fish in the sea. And who’s to say Devi won’t run into Ben and/or Paxton again in the future?
Yes! I think Devi was processing her trauma by looking for something new to look forward to! Ultimately, I hope the show wraps things up with Devi resolving her trauma with her father ! #TeamDevi
Can’t wait to see Season 3… I totally related to all Devi went through.. good to see what a young Indian girl growing up in America goes through
Team both but right now it’s Paxton cuz of his character development…but ben is so amazing too😭😭😭
ikr team Paxton alwaysss
21:58 I love how the writers are split between Ben and Paxton! Hahahaha
I’m not a teenager but I watched all the available episodes on Netflix and enjoyed it so much and can’t wait for the coming season 🤩
Me too☺☺
I thought that it would be the typical teen show that would decline after the first season but after watching both seasons... it exceeded my expectations. I'm fangirling! I love it.
omg it's so fun and exciting to see all these women together around a table. Their friendship is so fun and real and it makes me so happy!
This is one of the most amazinggggggg series EVER. So inclusive and so funny and so real.
Lang and Mindy are geniuses! All of these amazing women are phenomenal actresses! The Brown Girl Glow up is real❤️❤️🤩
I’m team Paxton, but at the same time I feel bad for Ben
theyre allll soo beautiful !!
i literally just finished rewatching the last 3 episodes!! SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched season one & two on one sitting. I love it!
Such stunning ladies and their outfits are so lovely, especially Maitreyi’s.
HOLY COW IT'S ONE DAY LEFT IN MY TIMEZONE! I'M SOOO EXCITED 🔥🤙🏼
What country?
TODAYS THE DAY ,in my time zone!!!!💣💥😅👍
Team ben ❤️
Wish Devi looked her natural brown skin color here. She is so beautiful!! But who ever did her makeup today made her look kinda white with hints of yellow. I saw other interviews and her makeup is spot on. Team Devi here❤️❤️❤️
Team Ben. They have deep history from childhood? Looking forward to S3. This is the new friends TV series for teenagers .It has world wide appeal. 👍😊
I totally relate to Devi so much n the tears I shed watching this show and the talks I had with my therapist because of this show. Season 3 better come out now
omg me too
I love them so much even outside the show the cast's relationship seem so great
What a brilliant interview!
TEAM BEN.. STOP PLAYING
TEAM PAXTON.. GET THE FUCK OF THE FIELD
Team Ben
@@eaty0tts809 BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SOMETHINGS WRONG W YOU
Hahahaha I noticed poorna’s accent was gone every time she had a scene with common!!
I literally noticed the same!! 😅😅 It all makes sense
one of the best show ever, I love characters that are so real, so ironic, so imperfect
I loved Kamala's arc, a woman in STEM, that's some juicy source material right there.
Paxton ❤️❤️❤️
Team Ben all the way! Because they have more in common and Paxton was ashamed of her and she mostly wanted him for his looks and poularity I think
Paxton was never ashamed of Devi for who she was though. He had a moment where he was trying to convince himself why he shouldn't date her, probably because he'd never felt that way about a girl before and she wasn't like anyone he'd been involved with. Let's also just remember that Devi was trying to use him for sex in the very beginning of the show. I think he changed his mind on that to protect himself, and Nalini had absolutely hurt him by saying he's not smart, etc. He didn't want to date her publicly because she cheated on him, not that he was embarrassed of her. Prior to that, he embraced her in the hallway, invited her to hang out with his friends (which sounds like was common for people he dated), and sought her out immediately at her going away party. When they started back up, he just had been humiliated by her in front of his peers and he needed some time to process that. Was it the best way to do it? Probably not, but I also see it as him trying to protect himself and his self worth. People WOULD question why he'd go back to a girl who cheated on him and inadvertently ended his swimming career. It didn't take him long to figure out though that he didn't care what people thought about HIM (again, not Devi), and got out there and did what made both him and Devi happy. So I don't see that as embarrassment at all. I do also think Paxton and Devi have things in common - they talked for hours and didn't just have a physical relationship. You have to have things in common if you can talk that long to someone without getting sick of them! I can see it going either way, but I think Paxton's calmness is better for her.
omg they are all so stunning I CANNOTTT
can we recognize how beautiful they all look
loved season 2!!!!! 😂😂😂 i wanted to reallly savor it but i watched it all episodes in two days tho i tried hard.....
I watched in less than a day 😭😭😭
In a day 😭😂
I'm a team paxton. His character really grew throughout the season and he deserves this
I loved every single character 😍
Team Paxton!
I'm in team Paxton because Paxton loves devi alot there is so much love in his eye for devi ❤
But the way "Team Paxton" is mentioned in the context of making mistakes suggests that no matter how "well" Paxton does in school, he will still be just a hot jock, and one not to be chosen at the end of the day to be safe. lol Isn't the series trying to create new trends on every front?
Thank you for casting an adult actor to play Paxton. I love watching the table sanding scene.
LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!
I so love this series
Devi😍😍
I'm not a fan when they all say kinda the same thing about the show cause let's be honest Netflix has 10000 of similar teens shows that it just became predictable what makes Never Have I Ever so exciting is probably the way that the story is told, and I personally love to see the characters development going through life experiences that I never had
yeah but since you watched it you must be on either Ben's or Paxton's side so whose side are u on?
@@august-bl1jh Tbh, cos they’re teens and Devi is still in a process of maturing and development. I’m ok with her end up with either guys or no boyfriends at all. Most important thing is she learn to become better in her decisions and control her anger whenever needed. One of my best friend had her mother died 2 years ago, she’s not a teenager anymore but to get over that and becoming more mature does take time. I witness her rant and angry but she’s maturing and handling them better.
@@jazzparade03 oh I'm so sorry for her loss. Even I lost my mom 4 years ago and I'm a teen now and I get angry easily and yeah i act very immature and it's not easy to overcome your problems but I feel if you have someone who understands you then maybe it'll be easier to grow
Paxton n devi 😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉
Finally ..
Love from India
Love this show! Can't wait for season 3!
