that hit home. There really weren't any Indian characters on TV shows that I could relate to growing up. There was Apu on, but having a long last name is where our similarities started and ended.
I love the fact that the younger generations of Indian girls finally have a show with characters that are going through similar issues, so they're not just sitting and wondering"Is anyone else out there going through this?"In the episode called"Never Have I Ever . . . Felt Super Indian," Devi has to get dressed up in a traditional Indian sari while going to the Ganesh Puja, which is a Hindu festival.
The feeling of being othered because of what I wore and my long last name — that's something I've dealt with my whole life. There's a scene later in the episode where a little girl standing with her mother asks Devi if she's Princess Jasmine. Her mom makes it worse and asks Devi to take a photo because she looks"so cultural" in her sari. That really struck a chord with me. It was a feeling I knew all too well. The feeling of being othered because of what I wore and my long last name — that's something I've dealt with my whole life.
