Q) One of my favorite scenes is one of Prashant and Devi, when he attempts to give her some relationship advice. And I remember Richa saying, “Don’t put so much weight on it. So, right before the kiss, I would bumble my words “but maybe before we ripped them open” and that happen multiple takes which got me even more in my head. It was a long day, and my adrenaline was getting the best of me because in the back of my mind, I wanted it to be “right” both as the actor and the character, and trying to do something “right” should never be the reason we do something as actors. I think it was in episode 4, right before Prashant kisses Kamala, I remember it was the first day back to set during the pandemic. I feel it, she feels it, we all feel it and that’s a really nice quality to have in someone that I’m supposed to take a dance with. Do you have a favorite memory while filming with her on set?Ī) Playing pretend with Richa is so very easy because she’s just so available and present. It must have been wonderful to have that naturally. Q) I really like the relationship between Prashant and Kamala there is unbelievable chemistry there. What are you excited for the fans to see this season?Ī) I’m really excited for the audience to see fully baked individuals exploring workplace injustices and dating and the difference in opinion even when you have so much in common. Q) Season Two of “Never Have I Ever” allows fans to dive deeper into your character and the relationship. The dichotomy in mindset between Prashant and Kamala (Richa Moorjani).
#Prashant never have i ever tv
Something we would never we ever see on TV because no one has ever given us a chance to explore that systemic issue and it’s a big fucking issue! “Put your head down, don’t make a fuss and get through it.” “Don’t stir the pot.” “What will people say?” “What will people think?” And that was something that was very fun to play.
And as the show progressed in Season 2, I got a chance to dig deeper into another complex layer, and that is something Indian men are born and breed into. Honestly, I just wanted to an opportunity to be able to walk in his shoes a bit longer. Were there certain aspects or layers of him that you were most looking forward to portraying?Ī) Yes, he was. Q) Prashant was first introduced in Season 1. To having a point of view but then to also to be able mask it for the sake of maintaining a relationship. It’s really refreshing for me to walk in the who, what, where, when and why first and then deal with real world problems. It’s the accent that walks in the room and gets the laugh and that’s not okay because the characters have literally zero backstory to ground their choices.
You know, for as long as I know, Indian accents on American TV and film have always been used as a comedic vehicle. I think this is the first time that an Indian American men and women are getting a chance to be portrayed as romantic leads with fully baked arcs, and that too with accents. That’s what got me really excited about “Never Have I Ever” and the character I am getting to play. Indian Americans having the opportunities to be portrayed in such a positive light. There’s nothing like this show on American television.
Was there anything in particular about the character or the show that made you want to be a part of “Never Have I Ever?”Ī) I am so very grateful that they would have me.
