Never Have I Ever star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan doesn't look like this anymore, see her now as a glam adult
On her beloved show, which was a high school comedy-drama show co-created by Mindy Kaling, she looked young with hardly any makeup on.
There was no glam to her as she faced teen problems like fighting with mom and landing a date with her crush.
The first season dropped in 2020 and three seasons followed.
These days Ramakrishnan is a stunning 23-year-old woman who likes to get glam for Hollywood events.
She was last seen on the red carpet this week for the Lindsay Lohan movie Freakier Friday, in which she has a role.
The star had on a plunging pale purple gown that went to the floor as she added a diamond necklace and earrings and a gold nose piercing.
Her long black hair was worn down over one shoulder.
Ramakrishnan told ET's Cassie DiLaura at the world premiere of Freakier Friday that she plays a pop star named Ella in the long-awaited sequel.
The movie is in theaters on August. 8.
Next up for Maitreyi is a Bollywood-themed project for Netflix titledBest of the Best.
Never Have I Ever was a launching pad for Ramakrishnan.
Ramakrishnan, a Canadian actress who like Mindy has Tamil roots, led the cast as bookish teen Devi who is bent on 'rebranding' as cool.
As her sophomore year kicks off she wants to be a 'normal teen' with a 'status-enhancing' boyfriend and a sex life.
Her mother Nalini, who like Mindy's mother is a doctor, tells her: 'Normal teenagers end up in prison, or worse, working in Jersey Mike's.'
Nalini is portrayed by Poorna Jagannathan, known to US audiences from the HBO mini-series The Night Of and Bollywood viewers from the film Delhi Belly.
Devi attempts her 'rebranding' exercise all while fumbling in her attempts to cope with the recent death of her father from a sudden heart attack.
The cast includes Ramona Young, Lee Rodriguez, Jaren Lewison and Darren Barnet, with Niecy Nash in a recurring role and tennis star John McEnroe narrating.
Although Mindy Kaling produced NHIE and co-created it with Lang Fisher, she did not not have a starring role in it herself.

Prince William and Kate 'eyeing up move' to historic castle with dark past
Prince William and Kate Middleton are understood to be considering a move from their three-bedroom home in Windsor after three years. There's ongoing speculation that Prince William and Kate Middleton could be considering a house move from their current home in Adelaide Cottage after three years. However, its the intriguing history of the potential residence which has sparked conversation. Adelaide Cottage is considered small in comparison to the size of the Wales family's previous full-time home, a grand apartment in Kensington Palace. Reports suggest they are seeking a larger space for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. An insider has hinted according to reports in the Mirror, that the royals might be eyeing Fort Belvedere, a magnificent gothic revival mansion situated within Windsor Great Park. Constructed in the 18th century, Fort Belvedere was the preferred royal dwelling of Edward VIII, who resided there both before his ascension to the throne and following his abdication to wed Wallis Simpson. This imposing castle was the location where the former king signed the documents that confirmed his notorious abdication in 1936. The expansive grade II-listed property spans 59 acres and features an outdoor swimming pool and tennis court. These features are said to be a huge selling point to Kate and Charlotte, both avid sports enthusiasts. Often referred to as The Fort, this country house also boasts a rose garden, walled garden, separate kitchen garden, large greenhouse, stables, two lakes, paddocks and three cottages for staff. The residence is accessible via a lengthy path and is encircled by a moat. The grand residence was once the site of several cannons from the 1745 Jacobite rising, historically positioned along its battlements. Edward VIII is credited with saving the building, a favourite summer tea house of Queen Victoria, from neglect and introducing opulent amenities. Following his departure, the estate stood mostly vacant until 1956 when Gerald Lascelles, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth, took up residence. Initially a large mansion with 30 to 40 rooms, it's believed he downsized it to just eight bedrooms. The property was later leased in the early 1980s to Canadian retail magnate Galen Weston and his wife Hilary. Under the Westons' tenure, a polo stud was established on the grounds, and they famously entertained Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and Princess Caroline of Monaco during Hilary's 60th birthday celebrations in an expansive marquee adjacent to the house. Mr Weston, whose fortune was estimated at £5.2 billion, passed away in 2021 at the age of 80, but his family has maintained their residence there, with the property remaining under the ownership of the Crown Estate. A source with insider knowledge disclosed to the Mail on Sunday, "[The Waleses] feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial. This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis." It's understood that William and Kate contemplated residing in the unoccupied Fort Belvedere before ultimately choosing Adelaide Cottage. It's believed that they deemed Adelaide Cottage more fitting due to its proximity to Queen Elizabeth, and their desire to provide a more grounded upbringing for their children.

The 'SNL' ticket lottery opens this week—here's how to enter for free
If you've ever dreamed of watching Weekend Update unfold live from a folding chair at 30 Rock, now's your shot: the Saturday Night Live ticket lottery for the 2025–2026 season officially opens at 12 am ET on Aug. 1. It closes on Aug. 31 at 11:59 pm ET, and you only get one entry, so make it count. To enter, send a single email to SNLTICKETS@ with your full name and a short note on why you want to be in the audience. Go ahead and gush (tastefully). Just know that applying early, late or more than once will get your submission disqualified. And if you're under 16, sorry, this sketch comedy club's off-limits. Winners (chosen at random) will receive free tickets for a random show date and time. You'll only be contacted if you're selected, so don't spend all of September refreshing your inbox. If you're not one of the chosen few, don't despair—standby tickets are still on the table if you're willing to work for them. Here's how that works: The standby reservation portal opens at 10 am ET on the Thursday before a live show. You can select the 8 pm dress rehearsal or the 11:30 pm live broadcast. Once you book, you'll receive a reservation number (eventually—it might take hours). Show up in person at the NBC Studios marquee on W. 49th St between 6–7 pm on Friday and check in with a valid ID. You'll then line up, by number and wait until 12:01 am Saturday, when actual standby cards are handed out. Standby hopefuls, take note: No tents, booze, sleeping bags or line-sitters allowed. If you bail on the line, you lose your chance. The cards are one per person and do not guarantee entry, but hey, it's still one of NYC's most iconic (and free) rites of passage.
