love how you said, Oh, I ordered some Nashville Hot

and you gave the name of the place. He looked
at him and.

Ooh, he made the puke sound.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
They only got a two point three writing bull. Yes,
it's a red flag when you shouldn't make the bolt sound,
and so why you didn't even order it? I ordered
that's her breakfast, and you're like, I say, it's a
two point three. I'm reading a fact, right, so.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
If I'm ready facing the vomit sound is not fact though?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, but does not have the vomet sound. You still
would have said, why are you coming down on my food?
People do that in conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I don't know why you pick apart other people's food though.

Trey Rama Krishna.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Live from the Mercedes Bands Interview Lounge.

What's nice to see you.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
This is Gandhi.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Hi, nice to see you. I love you so much.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Before you get judgy, her real name is Gandhi.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yes, I didn't think that was like a fake thing.
That'd be a hard thing to be fake about.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I mean it's like I'm the gay guy. They
don't come in like, hey, queen aout that well, welcome
to the show. And I know both Gandi and Danielle
Way gosh, you know they're kind of bumming. This is
the last season.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I know I really want to see Tavy go to
college and all the things that come with it.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
But okay, it's okay. All good things have to come
to an end, right, I promise you it's a good end.
It is. And if you don't think it, tell us.
I can't tell you that. You know, you don't want
to know that. You don't want that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We know who we want you to end up with.
I don't sure, I don't know. I'm torn.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Yeah, then who do you want? David say loud play
loud of Brown.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, kind.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'm telling me right now, I'm telling you right No,
it's not Paxton. I can tell, I can tell yeah,
I'm reading the room, you know, it's weird about the
not only like a season finale, but a series finale.
For instance, Succession ended last week or whatever. And I
watched all four seasons and I just got fed up
halfway through the last season. I don't I watched every
(03:37):
single episode except for the finale. Why, And I just
went online and read the spoilers because I got why.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I think this might be like, I don't think anyone
else in this room right now is in agreeance with you.
I feel like crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I was just fed up with this. Screw it. I'm
gonna just read the spoiler and I did. And then
they said, you really should go watch it. So I
went back and watched it, and I regretted it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So you were going to watch it anyway?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I ruined it for myself.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You did that truly to yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, I did. I totally f myself on that.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Everything. Okay, no check up on you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I was as a child in somewhere, she's gonna do.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
The ted Lasso thing like ted Lasso ended, and they said, well,
we could have some other things happening, some spin offs
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Is that could happen that?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
And then never have I ever future? I don't know
I don't think so, I mean not to my knowledge genuinely,
Like I wish I could give you something more interesting
than that, but that's all on the like, you know,
the hands of people much more powerful than I.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I just show up people that could have as killed.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, So how has life changed since? Uh, never have
I ever debuted back in what four seasons ago? How
is your life as a woman and as an actor
changed for you?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
It's changed a lot. I mean, like I went from
someone who didn't know they wanted to be an actor
to someone who loves acting and acting is a thing
that makes me the happiest in the world, which you know,
it's it's just where I'm happiest on set. So as
an actor, I've grown, But like as a young woman,
I also grew up in the same process. Like I
was seventeen when I started. Now I'm twenty one, so
(05:13):
still like a gremlin, but you know, a work in progress,
as my mother would say, but I've matured up.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Fame is kind of weird talk about talk about that.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I mean, like it could be as simple as like,
you know, the things of you know, you have people
who are just nice to like my friends and family
just to like get weirdly close with me, which I hate.
But there's also like me having to sometimes not dress
like an absolute bum when I go out in public,
and like I can't wear my like stained sweatpants. I think,
(05:43):
actually my mom would not want me to do that anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Regardless of So this is the only thing your mom
likes about your career. She's finally leaving the house looking presentable.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, like, oh like nice, you like combed her hair,
good for her. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I want to go back to something you said earlier
a moment ago. You said, acting is my most favorite thing,
and there were what is it acting? Every actor has
their line the reason they love it. Why do you
love it so much?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Honestly, I love like the storytelling, and I love being
able to play dress up and play a different character.
It's just it's fun to be able to be a
small part of a bigger project. When someone takes the
time to write, you know, a script that probably is
influenced by their life, I just feel so honored to
help bring that to life. And then in the process,
(06:27):
if anyone in you know, the audience can relate to
the character or see themselves through just me existing, especially
as a brown woman. That's great. That just is the
cherry on top. I can't ask for any you know,
anything more than that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
With four seasons under your belt, I'm working with a
Mindy Kaling. I mean, does it make you want to
go that direction and be more of a producer, creator
type writer thing or what I think?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Eventually down the line, I'd love to do that. That
would be awesome. I mean I look up to Mindy
so much. I really looked out with the first Boss.
She is just so cool as a human being and
I just respect her a lot. But I still want to,
like continue to act and you know, be a funny
guy on camera. I love comedy, I do, so I
want to do that for a little bit eventually, you know,
(07:11):
try to fill in Menduci's.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You seem very very happy with where you are.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Honestly, Yeah, you got.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
To shout it and let people know.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
No, because I used to be very miserable.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Okay, give me the five reasons why you should be miserable.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
No, Because I mean it was I grew up and
I was seventeen when I started, and that came with
a lot of imposter syndrome. It came with a lot
of just regular anxieties that a lot of young women
and just young people feel of just feeling insecure. You
don't feel confident. Suddenly millions of people around the world
are like watching your face, and you know some people
aren't very nice. Some people are and most people are
(07:52):
very lovely, but you know you aren't very nice to yourself.
And then as an actor, you're always freaking out about like,
what are you gonna do next, What's gonna happen? Because
that's what you're constantly being asked. And the industry inherently
makes people feel like if you're not doing something, then
you're useless, and that means you belong to the trash
and people will like, we'll forget about you. That energy
(08:13):
is very real and it's there, and I have come
to a place though, where I've actively taken steps to
not feed into that energy. And I've realized I did
forty episodes of a show that wasn't canceled in every
single episode, and it's a hit on Netflix. And that
was my first job two weeks out of high school.
(08:33):
I'm okay, I'm chilling.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Train to be able to loot yourself in the mirror
of my train and say that to yourself is so important.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It took a minute, though, because a lot of my
friends and I have to say a lot of my
friends and a lot of my family members, my loved
ones would say that to me and I didn't hear it.
But now I don't know how I really switched. I
think it was a process, like a stepping stone process.
But now I'm able to look in the mirror and
say it, so I couldn't at first.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
What I want everyone listening, and we have ten million
people listening, or four or three people, I don't know.
It just mattered, but but I want everyone to hear
what my Trey saying is that you got to stop
down and start worrying about what's going to happen in
an hour from now. Where are you now? And what
did you do to get where you are? And don't
you deserve where you are? You do? Yeah, you got
to celebrate that.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I love that you have to pat yourself on the back.
I mean I was just always so stressed about like
like I would get a crazy cool accomplishment and then
I would never sit down and say, like, oh, good job,
make sure you like you did a thing, yay. I
would just be like, okay, what's next, Like okay, people
are going to forget about that, and you know.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
You never let yourself enjoy the moment.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
No, and that's not that's not healthy because in the end,
we're all gonna die.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I mean, yeah, we're.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
All just more.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Every day we're one step closer.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This is the moment we're born. I think I died
about a month ago, this residual thing going well.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think outside of just all the things that you've acomplished,
because it's such a good show and I love it,
you have so much more to be proud of because
the representation is so important. I was in high school
in the early two thousands, and to watch you now
going through the same thing, I was like, damn, it's
still like that. And I felt represented, even though I'm
not part of that anymore. And it was really important
to me. And I know that, you know, being here
(10:15):
and being around woman here getting that feedback from people
saying it's nice to finally see something like me and Skylight.
I'm sure that that is incredible for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So you should be happy about that one too.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh one hundred percent. That's definitely something I love about
what I do and I understand like the representation and
never have I ever we really, you know, we're not perfect,
but we try our best and we can only represent
so many people, but we help get one step closer
to more representation and opening more doors for more people
to say, hey, like, you know, girls that look like me,
(10:49):
people that look like me deserve to be like the
main character that don't disappear after like one scene and
then fade away and you never see that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
First Yeah, yeah, far exactly in a slasher.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah, I'm not at the bar.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Made out with Paxston. Don't forget that part exactly.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Davy makes out with a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Well, you know, but we're gonna focus on Okay, okay, okay, what's.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
This is probably just an immature, stupid question, But what's
it like to get the license to make out with
a hot guy?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
To make out with the hot people?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
But there are cameras there, there's a crew watching. I mean,
but do you do you get a little lost in
the kiss? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Do you ever get I think, honestly, I don't think
I have the answer for you on that one. But
you can ask Jared Lewison and Darren Barnett because they
experienced that with her. Yeah, okay, they might have an
answer for you. I think they get a little lost
in it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, just wondering because there was a story out yesterday
by this the intimacy coach from from Hollywood, and she
was talking about guys if they get it, you know,
if they pomp a boner. They have this thing they wear. Yeah,
it's a thing.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Intimacy coordinators are like the coolest people. Honestly. They're like
stunt coordinators, but for like romance, and they're just hidden
in every corner of every scene, like in the closet
or just like off to the side. They could just
like open up their jackets. They have a million different
kinds of breath mints. They have like the pill breath
mins they have like the spray really like a weird
like tape thing. It's insane.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Did they ever stop you and say, no, you can't
do it that way, that we'll get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You gotta do it this one.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah, Like for one hundred percent. They like talk to
one person in the scene and then they talk to
the other person in the scene. Make sure everyone like
they know each other's like boundaries and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So there's a legal going on with yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
And it's just it's honestly really awesome. I think everyone
should be able to have intimacy coordinators, regardless of if
you're young, if you're a minor, if you know you've
been acting for a long time, doesn't matter any kind
of scene. For same sex couples and then hetero couples,
everyone should have it just because like they're an ally
for you in the room, and they can also stop
(13:01):
a director and say, hey, we're going to take a
five minute break.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I need one in real life. There is one in
real life that coord're sore. Okay, I have a question
because this is the one thing that we're all like,
what the hell with the high school cast mates or
the ones who are supposed to be in high school?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The kid the kids? Yeah, what is the age spread?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Because I know you said you started when you were seventeen,
but I know there are some thirty year olds in there.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You know, they're they're they're they're they're in there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
So what's what's the spread?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The youngest is how old and the oldest is how old?
And they're all playing high schoolers.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I so they out of the main cast, I am
the youngling. Yeah, I was seventeen and no twenty one.
I died at twenty and then probably out of like
the main seven, the oldest would then probably be poorn
A Juggannautan, who plays my mom Nolinie. Yeah. After me,
(13:50):
it's Jaren. Jared and I are the closest in age.
You're one year apart.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, but there are also thirty year olds playing high schoolers.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Right, yeah, they're in there. Okay, they're in there, but
you know what, you know what, I think we know
which ones are the thirty year old Yeah, but you'd
be surprised at which ones are also the thirty year olds. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I feel like some of the older people are probably
thirty as well as the high schoolers are thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I'm just I'm glad that we know that they're in
their thirties because it feels weird when I'm attracted to
high schoolers and then.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah they were in there there, but it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Was just turning us on my Trey rama. Krishnan is here,
of course. The final season of Netflix is Never Have
I Ever debuts this Thursday, and so I kind of
learned something as an interviewer from me. Yeah, okay, I'm
gonna stop asking what's next. I just want to talk
about the now. And I think, yeah, I think that's
(14:44):
a great tip for anyone interviewing someone. Why put that
what's next? What do you got to go on? What
do you pay? Yeah, let's just talk about where you
are and like how it feels. And that's good enough.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
And honestly, even if you do ask what's next, there's
nothing wrong with that. I've learned. Do you embrace and
be confident in my answer to say, I don't know.
But I'm actually quite excited about that because there was
a point in time in my life I didn't know
never how I ever was gonna happen. I was just
in high school, you know, being a regular senior in school,
(15:15):
doing my exams, trying to apply for you know, post secondary,
and then a tweet appened, and then my whole life changed.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So tell that story, a tweet happen.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Oh yeah, that lovely story. I honestly love that story.
I think one day that should be adapted into a
movie or a TV show. But basically, my best friend
who knew how to use Twitter, unlike myself. Saw Mindy
Kaling's tweet asking people to audition for her show. Anyone could, like,
anyone could just send in a tape, and I was
like okay. I actually almost said no, but I was like,
(15:45):
I sure, we can hang out. So my best friend
and I we went to our library community center. We
made two audition tapes, and then yeah, the rest is history.
I like got a job out of fifteen thousand people.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Something good came from Twitter.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Times.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
How many times did they call you back before they
actually said you got the part?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Okay? So I sent in my first couple of tapes
and then a week later I got an email saying like, hey,
can you like send in some more Here are a
few new like scenes, and I thought the bar was
like low. I was like like, this is like automated response.
That's cool. And then a week after that, they asked
me to fly down to LA which I freaked out
because I was like, I don't have money, I don't
(16:28):
want I'm a student and I don't have a job.
But it was all fine, and then they asked me
to come down one more time after that, so two
trips to LA and then two rounds of tapes, and
then I waited a month of like silence where I
was like, well, that was a fun experience. I like
went on a celebrity tour of like homes and like
like one of those bus tours, because I was like,
(16:48):
this is great. My dad and I did the whole thing.
And then yeah, I found out that I got it,
and all I said was, oh, that's crazy. That was
a reaction. Yeah, And it was just like, that's crazy
because I I don't have family members or friends in
the industry, so I don't know what to expect. Like
that's all I could give. It was not giving much,
but it gave something.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Who called you? Was it many?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
It was Mindy and Lang both you know, co created.
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
One of the great things of having Gandhi on the show.
You've been with us for two three years almost five.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You're like, yeah, we've worked out for yea.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So fast with your best friends. Anyway, having a brown
friend in the room talking about what it's like not
only her thoughts of how to navigate the world and
her journey, but having parents Indian parents, having parents who
are a Sri Lankan. I mean, it's something a white
(17:46):
guy doesn't understand having parents and their expectations of you
and what they expect. The expectations on you are so
different than what we know. And we're learning more about
how great and rich and wonderful your history is in
your genes and all I hear stories of Gandhi's parents.
They should have their own show.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh my god, they canceled immediately.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
This is the this is like not acceptable for it
would just be like a really bad bad stand ups.
You can't just say that, it's like this is not
appropriate exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But so your parents say, by how are they feeling
about you becoming an actor? Are they totally supportive or
are they like.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
They're they're totally supportive. I mean they watch everything, and
so does my grandma. My grandma's also team Ben actually,
so she might have some beef to Yeah, she's team bench.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Me and grandma.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, but no, my family's really like supportive. They've always
been team like, let's do whatever we can. They've learned
along the way with me. I mean they didn't know
how to navigate the industry, so they were also learning
and learning how to adapt, how to like, you know,
be on set. And because I was seventeen when the
show started, they had like one of them had to
be on set and they didn't want to leave me alone.
(18:58):
And I'm very grateful, very very grateful for them and
my brother. My brother had to navigate it too. So yeah,
every time someone tries to talk to my grandma about me,
my grandma gets very short and doesn't say much. She
likes to keep all of her information about her lovely
granddaughter very very close. Ah. Yeah, She's like, I don't
trust anyone. You're like, okay, it's okay. I think the
(19:20):
grocery store girl who's just checking you out at the
end of the at the end of the aisle just
lost the station. Fan Ma, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Who don't warn Gandhi. I mean she comes from a
family of doctors, and I mean lots of education in
Gandhi as well, highly highly educated. But she's the one
that came home one day and said I'm gonna do radio. Yeah.
I mean, how did your parents latch onto that?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
They were not as supportive as you're seen to be,
you know, I mean, they really would have loved for
me to go to med school and finish college that way.
And my dad said, this is so great. I hope
it doesn't stop.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You from getting a real job.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Though.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I was like, this has got my real job, dad,
And then when I told him the salary, he said,
it's not really real job.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So yeah, they're good now.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Though, I think that what changed was all of their
friends started listening and started saying things, so then they
were kind of more of the thought of, oh, okay,
this is a real job.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Now that I'm here.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It took a long time some other cities before, but
now that I'm here, they're much more supportive. Now they
listen and I hate that, but they're supportive.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
You know, our parents are growing too. I mean, I'm
super super privileged and lucky to have the parents that
I do. I mean, my mom said, don't become a
doctor because you might kill someone out of black love patience. Also,
like I get very like distracted. I'd be like, oh
my god, I'm so sorry, totally forgot about you. Oh
you bled out to death. That's weird. Anyway, I'm very
(20:49):
lucky to have the parents that I do. But like
I think, I think parents especially like Asian parents, and
I'll speak for like I guess like South Asian, you know,
diaspora I think, you know, their parents are becoming more open,
which is lovely, but all parents of all different cultures
and backgrounds are all works in progress. I mean, the
reason why I think so many people can relate to
(21:10):
never have I ever and especially the family dynamic, is that, Yeah,
of course you know it's a fumble family and that's great,
but it's also just a messy family that has drama
like any like family. I have so many Italian friends
that are like, yeah, right, this is this is very
relatable for me, So yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I love that, and so many people listening right now going,
oh my god, she's on to my family.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, we're all messes.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We're all messy, and what you said, parents are a
work in progress. I remember, and they've heard this story.
My father was in his nineties when he passed away,
but one of the last things he ever said to me,
he said, I'm still scared at things. I don't know everything.
He said. All your life, you've put me on this pedestal,
expecting me to have all the answers. He said, I
never really had all the answers. I'm still scared at
(21:58):
what's going on with my body and what yeah, where
my life is going and where it's about to end.
He said, that's that's the way it is.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Being a parent does not come with an instruction manual.
And sometimes you get it right and sometimes you get
it wrong, and you just got to hope you didn't
get it so wrong that you mess them up forever.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's the best mom in the world. Mom in the world.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
You're working progress always.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
You know what you gotta always wake up every day
and say I am a work in progress again today.
Otherwise you stop your learning, you stop your movement.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You got it having you here, this is kind of great.
I gotta be honest with you. It's just my trade.
Thank you so much for spending time with us.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And wherever wherever the road takes you next, we'll be watching.
And if you ever need anything from us, we're right
here in this little building in the middle of this
little town with all these balloons.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I love these balloons so much.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Those are from Balloon Saloon downtown. None of the mother
and daughter own this company. It's a great story. They've
owned it for a thousand years and they're part of
the show. The balloons.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Nice, Oh my god, Balloon sal Yeah, Okay, I want
one single balloon. I just want a big happy face.

Never Have I Ever with my Trey romy Krishan, and
thank you so much for coming in and have a
great day. Do you like New York?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
I love New York. Oh my god, like urine but
it's okay. It was when I described to my Canadian
friends in New York. I always say it's like Toronto,
but with like slightly weirder smells.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's slightly weirder.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Slightly I mean, I'm trying not to be made like
it's a questionable, undescribable smells.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Wait, we're on in Toronto. I'm proud.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
For the longest time I thought our art radio is
a Canadian thing because I would always se it in
Toronto and I was like, oh, it's everywhere. There's other places.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's our secret.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Yeah, oh wow, who knew?

about the complicated life of a modern day, first generation
Indian American teenage girl relatable. Did you go say hi
to her?

I did not.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I didn't want to be creepy too late on that one.
Now I'm like, I'm creepy enough on my own. I
don't need to be extra creepy.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So she'll be in in a moment. Okay, I noticed
your Nashville Hot Chicken arrived.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's here, and I can't eat it.

Well, we'll eat it in a minute, Okay. But I
love how you said, Oh, I ordered some Nashville Hot
chicken and scary, of course, being the food synopsis, it true,
and you gave the name of the place. He looked
at him and.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Ooh, he made the puke sound.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
They only got a two point three writing bull. Yes,
it's a red flag when you shouldn't make the bolt sound,
and so why you didn't even order it? I ordered
that's her breakfast, and you're like, I say, it's a
two point three. I'm reading a fact, right, so.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
If I'm ready facing the vomit sound is not fact though?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, but does not have the vomet sound. You still
would have said, why are you coming down on my food?
People do that in conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I don't know why you pick apart other people's food though.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
That's not nice. You can't yuck her yum as they say, Oh,
so you're having the where is it from? Oh? They
got a two points?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You got an avocado?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
But yeah, the worst part about it is that you
just like you didn't even just admit, yeah, you're right,
I shouldn't have.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Done the bloo.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, he has to justify fear for your safety. All

Speaker 2 (02:14):
This is Gandhi.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Hi, nice to see you. I love you so much.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Before you get judgy, her real name is Gandhi.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yes, I didn't think that was like a fake thing.
That'd be a hard thing to be fake about.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I mean it's like I'm the gay guy. They
don't come in like, hey, queen aout that well, welcome
to the show. And I know both Gandi and Danielle
Way gosh, you know they're kind of bumming. This is
the last season.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I know I really want to see Tavy go to
college and all the things that come with it.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
But okay, it's okay. All good things have to come
to an end, right, I promise you it's a good end.
It is. And if you don't think it, tell us.
I can't tell you that. You know, you don't want
to know that. You don't want that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We know who we want you to end up with.
I don't sure, I don't know. I'm torn.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Yeah, then who do you want? David say loud play
loud of Brown.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, kind.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'm telling me right now, I'm telling you right No,
it's not Paxton. I can tell, I can tell yeah,
I'm reading the room, you know, it's weird about the
not only like a season finale, but a series finale.
For instance, Succession ended last week or whatever. And I
watched all four seasons and I just got fed up
halfway through the last season. I don't I watched every
(03:37):
single episode except for the finale. Why, And I just
went online and read the spoilers because I got why.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I think this might be like, I don't think anyone
else in this room right now is in agreeance with you.
I feel like crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I was just fed up with this. Screw it. I'm
gonna just read the spoiler and I did. And then
they said, you really should go watch it. So I
went back and watched it, and I regretted it.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
So you were going to watch it anyway?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I ruined it for myself.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You did that truly to yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, I did. I totally f myself on that.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Everything. Okay, no check up on you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I was as a child in somewhere, she's gonna do.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
The ted Lasso thing like ted Lasso ended, and they said, well,
we could have some other things happening, some spin offs
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Is that could happen that?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
And then never have I ever future? I don't know
I don't think so, I mean not to my knowledge genuinely,
Like I wish I could give you something more interesting
than that, but that's all on the like, you know,
the hands of people much more powerful than I.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I just show up people that could have as killed.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, So how has life changed since? Uh, never have
I ever debuted back in what four seasons ago? How
is your life as a woman and as an actor
changed for you?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
It's changed a lot. I mean, like I went from
someone who didn't know they wanted to be an actor
to someone who loves acting and acting is a thing
that makes me the happiest in the world, which you know,
it's it's just where I'm happiest on set. So as
an actor, I've grown, But like as a young woman,
I also grew up in the same process. Like I
was seventeen when I started. Now I'm twenty one, so
(05:13):
still like a gremlin, but you know, a work in progress,
as my mother would say, but I've matured up.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Fame is kind of weird talk about talk about that.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
I mean, like it could be as simple as like,
you know, the things of you know, you have people
who are just nice to like my friends and family
just to like get weirdly close with me, which I hate.
But there's also like me having to sometimes not dress
like an absolute bum when I go out in public,
and like I can't wear my like stained sweatpants. I think,
(05:43):
actually my mom would not want me to do that anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Regardless of So this is the only thing your mom
likes about your career. She's finally leaving the house looking presentable.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, like, oh like nice, you like combed her hair,
good for her. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I want to go back to something you said earlier
a moment ago. You said, acting is my most favorite thing,
and there were what is it acting? Every actor has
their line the reason they love it. Why do you
love it so much?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Honestly, I love like the storytelling, and I love being
able to play dress up and play a different character.
It's just it's fun to be able to be a
small part of a bigger project. When someone takes the
time to write, you know, a script that probably is
influenced by their life, I just feel so honored to
help bring that to life. And then in the process,
(06:27):
if anyone in you know, the audience can relate to
the character or see themselves through just me existing, especially
as a brown woman. That's great. That just is the
cherry on top. I can't ask for any you know,
anything more than that.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
With four seasons under your belt, I'm working with a
Mindy Kaling. I mean, does it make you want to
go that direction and be more of a producer, creator
type writer thing or what I think?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Eventually down the line, I'd love to do that. That
would be awesome. I mean I look up to Mindy
so much. I really looked out with the first Boss.
She is just so cool as a human being and
I just respect her a lot. But I still want to,
like continue to act and you know, be a funny
guy on camera. I love comedy, I do, so I
want to do that for a little bit eventually, you know,
(07:11):
try to fill in Menduci's.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You seem very very happy with where you are.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Honestly, Yeah, you got.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
To shout it and let people know.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
No, because I used to be very miserable.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Okay, give me the five reasons why you should be miserable.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
No, Because I mean it was I grew up and
I was seventeen when I started, and that came with
a lot of imposter syndrome. It came with a lot
of just regular anxieties that a lot of young women
and just young people feel of just feeling insecure. You
don't feel confident. Suddenly millions of people around the world
are like watching your face, and you know some people
aren't very nice. Some people are and most people are
(07:52):
very lovely, but you know you aren't very nice to yourself.
And then as an actor, you're always freaking out about like,
what are you gonna do next, What's gonna happen? Because
that's what you're constantly being asked. And the industry inherently
makes people feel like if you're not doing something, then
you're useless, and that means you belong to the trash
and people will like, we'll forget about you. That energy
(08:13):
is very real and it's there, and I have come
to a place though, where I've actively taken steps to
not feed into that energy. And I've realized I did
forty episodes of a show that wasn't canceled in every
single episode, and it's a hit on Netflix. And that
was my first job two weeks out of high school.
(08:33):
I'm okay, I'm chilling.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Train to be able to loot yourself in the mirror
of my train and say that to yourself is so important.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It took a minute, though, because a lot of my
friends and I have to say a lot of my
friends and a lot of my family members, my loved
ones would say that to me and I didn't hear it.
But now I don't know how I really switched. I
think it was a process, like a stepping stone process.
But now I'm able to look in the mirror and
say it, so I couldn't at first.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
What I want everyone listening, and we have ten million
people listening, or four or three people, I don't know.
It just mattered, but but I want everyone to hear
what my Trey saying is that you got to stop
down and start worrying about what's going to happen in
an hour from now. Where are you now? And what
did you do to get where you are? And don't
you deserve where you are? You do? Yeah, you got
to celebrate that.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I love that you have to pat yourself on the back.
I mean I was just always so stressed about like
like I would get a crazy cool accomplishment and then
I would never sit down and say, like, oh, good job,
make sure you like you did a thing, yay. I
would just be like, okay, what's next, Like okay, people
are going to forget about that, and you know.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
You never let yourself enjoy the moment.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
No, and that's not that's not healthy because in the end,
we're all gonna die.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I mean, yeah, we're.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
All just more.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Every day we're one step closer.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This is the moment we're born. I think I died
about a month ago, this residual thing going well.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think outside of just all the things that you've acomplished,
because it's such a good show and I love it,
you have so much more to be proud of because
the representation is so important. I was in high school
in the early two thousands, and to watch you now
going through the same thing, I was like, damn, it's
still like that. And I felt represented, even though I'm
not part of that anymore. And it was really important
to me. And I know that, you know, being here
(10:15):
and being around woman here getting that feedback from people
saying it's nice to finally see something like me and Skylight.
I'm sure that that is incredible for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So you should be happy about that one too.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh one hundred percent. That's definitely something I love about
what I do and I understand like the representation and
never have I ever we really, you know, we're not perfect,
but we try our best and we can only represent
so many people, but we help get one step closer
to more representation and opening more doors for more people
to say, hey, like, you know, girls that look like me,
(10:49):
people that look like me deserve to be like the
main character that don't disappear after like one scene and
then fade away and you never see that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
First Yeah, yeah, far exactly in a slasher.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah, I'm not at the bar.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Made out with Paxston. Don't forget that part exactly.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Davy makes out with a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Well, you know, but we're gonna focus on Okay, okay, okay, what's.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
This is probably just an immature, stupid question, But what's
it like to get the license to make out with
a hot guy?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
To make out with the hot people?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
But there are cameras there, there's a crew watching. I mean,
but do you do you get a little lost in
the kiss? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Do you ever get I think, honestly, I don't think
I have the answer for you on that one. But
you can ask Jared Lewison and Darren Barnett because they
experienced that with her. Yeah, okay, they might have an
answer for you. I think they get a little lost
in it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, just wondering because there was a story out yesterday
by this the intimacy coach from from Hollywood, and she
was talking about guys if they get it, you know,
if they pomp a boner. They have this thing they wear. Yeah,
it's a thing.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Intimacy coordinators are like the coolest people. Honestly. They're like
stunt coordinators, but for like romance, and they're just hidden
in every corner of every scene, like in the closet
or just like off to the side. They could just
like open up their jackets. They have a million different
kinds of breath mints. They have like the pill breath
mins they have like the spray really like a weird
like tape thing. It's insane.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Did they ever stop you and say, no, you can't
do it that way, that we'll get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You gotta do it this one.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah, Like for one hundred percent. They like talk to
one person in the scene and then they talk to
the other person in the scene. Make sure everyone like
they know each other's like boundaries and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So there's a legal going on with yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
And it's just it's honestly really awesome. I think everyone
should be able to have intimacy coordinators, regardless of if
you're young, if you're a minor, if you know you've
been acting for a long time, doesn't matter any kind
of scene. For same sex couples and then hetero couples,
everyone should have it just because like they're an ally
for you in the room, and they can also stop
(13:01):
a director and say, hey, we're going to take a
five minute break.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I need one in real life. There is one in
real life that coord're sore. Okay, I have a question
because this is the one thing that we're all like,
what the hell with the high school cast mates or
the ones who are supposed to be in high school?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The kid the kids? Yeah, what is the age spread?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Because I know you said you started when you were seventeen,
but I know there are some thirty year olds in there.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You know, they're they're they're they're they're in there.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
So what's what's the spread?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The youngest is how old and the oldest is how old?
And they're all playing high schoolers.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I so they out of the main cast, I am
the youngling. Yeah, I was seventeen and no twenty one.
I died at twenty and then probably out of like
the main seven, the oldest would then probably be poorn
A Juggannautan, who plays my mom Nolinie. Yeah. After me,
(13:50):
it's Jaren. Jared and I are the closest in age.
You're one year apart.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Okay, but there are also thirty year olds playing high schoolers.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Right, yeah, they're in there. Okay, they're in there, but
you know what, you know what, I think we know
which ones are the thirty year old Yeah, but you'd
be surprised at which ones are also the thirty year olds. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I feel like some of the older people are probably
thirty as well as the high schoolers are thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I'm just I'm glad that we know that they're in
their thirties because it feels weird when I'm attracted to
high schoolers and then.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah they were in there there, but it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Was just turning us on my Trey rama. Krishnan is here,
of course. The final season of Netflix is Never Have
I Ever debuts this Thursday, and so I kind of
learned something as an interviewer from me. Yeah, okay, I'm
gonna stop asking what's next. I just want to talk
about the now. And I think, yeah, I think that's
(14:44):
a great tip for anyone interviewing someone. Why put that
what's next? What do you got to go on? What
do you pay? Yeah, let's just talk about where you
are and like how it feels. And that's good enough.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
And honestly, even if you do ask what's next, there's
nothing wrong with that. I've learned. Do you embrace and
be confident in my answer to say, I don't know.
But I'm actually quite excited about that because there was
a point in time in my life I didn't know
never how I ever was gonna happen. I was just
in high school, you know, being a regular senior in school,
(15:15):
doing my exams, trying to apply for you know, post secondary,
and then a tweet appened, and then my whole life changed.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So tell that story, a tweet happen.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Oh yeah, that lovely story. I honestly love that story.
I think one day that should be adapted into a
movie or a TV show. But basically, my best friend
who knew how to use Twitter, unlike myself. Saw Mindy
Kaling's tweet asking people to audition for her show. Anyone could, like,
anyone could just send in a tape, and I was
like okay. I actually almost said no, but I was like,
(15:45):
I sure, we can hang out. So my best friend
and I we went to our library community center. We
made two audition tapes, and then yeah, the rest is history.
I like got a job out of fifteen thousand people.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Something good came from Twitter.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Times.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
How many times did they call you back before they
actually said you got the part?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Okay? So I sent in my first couple of tapes
and then a week later I got an email saying like, hey,
can you like send in some more Here are a
few new like scenes, and I thought the bar was
like low. I was like like, this is like automated response.
That's cool. And then a week after that, they asked
me to fly down to LA which I freaked out
because I was like, I don't have money, I don't
(16:28):
want I'm a student and I don't have a job.
But it was all fine, and then they asked me
to come down one more time after that, so two
trips to LA and then two rounds of tapes, and
then I waited a month of like silence where I
was like, well, that was a fun experience. I like
went on a celebrity tour of like homes and like
like one of those bus tours, because I was like,
(16:48):
this is great. My dad and I did the whole thing.
And then yeah, I found out that I got it,
and all I said was, oh, that's crazy. That was
a reaction. Yeah, And it was just like, that's crazy
because I I don't have family members or friends in
the industry, so I don't know what to expect. Like
that's all I could give. It was not giving much,
but it gave something.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Who called you? Was it many?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
It was Mindy and Lang both you know, co created.
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
One of the great things of having Gandhi on the show.
You've been with us for two three years almost five.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You're like, yeah, we've worked out for yea.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So fast with your best friends. Anyway, having a brown
friend in the room talking about what it's like not
only her thoughts of how to navigate the world and
her journey, but having parents Indian parents, having parents who
are a Sri Lankan. I mean, it's something a white
(17:46):
guy doesn't understand having parents and their expectations of you
and what they expect. The expectations on you are so
different than what we know. And we're learning more about
how great and rich and wonderful your history is in
your genes and all I hear stories of Gandhi's parents.
They should have their own show.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh my god, they canceled immediately.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
This is the this is like not acceptable for it
would just be like a really bad bad stand ups.
You can't just say that, it's like this is not
appropriate exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But so your parents say, by how are they feeling
about you becoming an actor? Are they totally supportive or
are they like.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
They're they're totally supportive. I mean they watch everything, and
so does my grandma. My grandma's also team Ben actually,
so she might have some beef to Yeah, she's team bench.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Me and grandma.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, but no, my family's really like supportive. They've always
been team like, let's do whatever we can. They've learned
along the way with me. I mean they didn't know
how to navigate the industry, so they were also learning
and learning how to adapt, how to like, you know,
be on set. And because I was seventeen when the
show started, they had like one of them had to
be on set and they didn't want to leave me alone.
(18:58):
And I'm very grateful, very very grateful for them and
my brother. My brother had to navigate it too. So yeah,
every time someone tries to talk to my grandma about me,
my grandma gets very short and doesn't say much. She
likes to keep all of her information about her lovely
granddaughter very very close. Ah. Yeah, She's like, I don't
trust anyone. You're like, okay, it's okay. I think the
(19:20):
grocery store girl who's just checking you out at the
end of the at the end of the aisle just
lost the station. Fan Ma, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Who don't warn Gandhi. I mean she comes from a
family of doctors, and I mean lots of education in
Gandhi as well, highly highly educated. But she's the one
that came home one day and said I'm gonna do radio. Yeah.
I mean, how did your parents latch onto that?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
They were not as supportive as you're seen to be,
you know, I mean, they really would have loved for
me to go to med school and finish college that way.
And my dad said, this is so great. I hope
it doesn't stop.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You from getting a real job.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Though.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I was like, this has got my real job, dad,
And then when I told him the salary, he said,
it's not really real job.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So yeah, they're good now.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Though, I think that what changed was all of their
friends started listening and started saying things, so then they
were kind of more of the thought of, oh, okay,
this is a real job.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Now that I'm here.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
It took a long time some other cities before, but
now that I'm here, they're much more supportive. Now they
listen and I hate that, but they're supportive.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
You know, our parents are growing too. I mean, I'm
super super privileged and lucky to have the parents that
I do. I mean, my mom said, don't become a
doctor because you might kill someone out of black love patience. Also,
like I get very like distracted. I'd be like, oh
my god, I'm so sorry, totally forgot about you. Oh
you bled out to death. That's weird. Anyway, I'm very
(20:49):
lucky to have the parents that I do. But like
I think, I think parents especially like Asian parents, and
I'll speak for like I guess like South Asian, you know,
diaspora I think, you know, their parents are becoming more open,
which is lovely, but all parents of all different cultures
and backgrounds are all works in progress. I mean, the
reason why I think so many people can relate to
(21:10):
never have I ever and especially the family dynamic, is that, Yeah,
of course you know it's a fumble family and that's great,
but it's also just a messy family that has drama
like any like family. I have so many Italian friends
that are like, yeah, right, this is this is very
relatable for me, So yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I love that, and so many people listening right now going,
oh my god, she's on to my family.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, we're all messes.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We're all messy, and what you said, parents are a
work in progress. I remember, and they've heard this story.
My father was in his nineties when he passed away,
but one of the last things he ever said to me,
he said, I'm still scared at things. I don't know everything.
He said. All your life, you've put me on this pedestal,
expecting me to have all the answers. He said, I
never really had all the answers. I'm still scared at
(21:58):
what's going on with my body and what yeah, where
my life is going and where it's about to end.
He said, that's that's the way it is.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Being a parent does not come with an instruction manual.
And sometimes you get it right and sometimes you get
it wrong, and you just got to hope you didn't
get it so wrong that you mess them up forever.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's the best mom in the world. Mom in the world.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
You're working progress always.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
You know what you gotta always wake up every day
and say I am a work in progress again today.
Otherwise you stop your learning, you stop your movement.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You got it having you here, this is kind of great.
I gotta be honest with you. It's just my trade.
Thank you so much for spending time with us.

and daughter own this company. It's a great story. They've

it's okay. It was when I described to my Canadian
friends in New York. I always say it's like Toronto,
but with like slightly weirder smells.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's slightly weirder.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Slightly I mean, I'm trying not to be made like
it's a questionable, undescribable smells.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Wait, we're on in Toronto. I'm proud.

a Canadian thing because I would always se it in
Toronto and I was like, oh, it's everywhere. There's other places.
