Biography
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is a Canadian actress who decided to pursue acting during her final year at Meadowvale Secondary School and landed her first professional role less than a year later. She was chosen by Mindy Kaling from 15,000 applicants in an open casting call to lead the Netflix teen comedy series Never Have I Ever as the high school student Devi Vishwakumar, a part she played for four seasons until 2023; the work brought nominations for an Independent Spirit Award, a Canadian Screen Award, an MTV Movie & TV Award and two People's Choice Awards. She has since voiced Priya Mangal in Turning Red (2022), Beesha Balti in The Twits (2025), which earned her an Annie Award nomination, and Zipp Storm across the My Little Pony series Make Your Mark and Tell Your Tale. Her live-action credits include Slanted (2025) and Freakier Friday (2025).
