Charna Flam Hosted by Priyanka Chopra Jonas 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.
As co-host, Chopra Jonas introduced the event by acknowledging that South Asian representation in Hollywood and at the Oscars has “been quite an arduous journey.” She said it would not have been possible without the South Asians who have “fought the stereotypes to ensure that our stories were not just a cliche, those of us who fought for actors to have bigger leading roles.
Those of you who fought for stories of South Asian descent to be a norm, to not be an exception, but to be normal.” 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” stars Poorna Jagannathan and Megan Suri, who appeared at the event divulged what fans can expect from the fourth and final season of the hit Netflix series.
Jagannathan told Variety, that “Never Have I Ever” fans, who watched Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) embark on the wild rollercoaster, can rest assured that the characters are “where they’re supposed to be and you’re happy for them.” “Never Have I Ever” follows as impulsive teen Devi Vishwakumar and her mother, Nalini (Jagannathan), navigate Devi’s adolescence alongside their joint grief over the death of Devi’s father, Mohan (Sendhil Ramamurthy).
