and Anjula Acharia, the South Asian Excellence Pre-Oscars Celebration on Thursday on the Paramount Studio lot invited South Asian industry changemakers and honored Oscar nominees of South Asian descent.

Chopra Jonas then shouted out, one of the co-hosts, Mindy Kaling, for her decades of developing their stories with South Asian women at the forefront, including the Netflix series starring Jagannathan and Suri. “Never Have I Ever” follows as impulsive teen Devi Vishwakumar and her mother, Nalini , navigate Devi’s adolescence alongside their joint grief over the death of Devi’s father, Mohan . While the mother and daughter adapt to their new family dynamic, Devi balances her schoolwork, friendships and the ongoing pursuit of scoring a boyfriend.

Jagannathan explains that while her character was “obviously” a huge part of her identity as an actor, her character contributed, alongside the newly minted pre-oscars celebration, to the growth of South Asian representation. More specifically the series and her character proved the importance and necessity of “taking of space and having a sense of belonging.”
