And even that Etro suit I wore in season 2 to the party with Common, that was made out of sari material. Tory Burch who has an Indian aesthetic in some of her pieces showed up a lot too.

So, she wears a lot of Anita Dongre and Ikai kurtas inside but wears brands like Cuyana and Bodice outside. So, I’d source the clothes from India and present it to the costume team and as the seasons went on, Nalini’s aesthetic evolved to wearing Indian silhouettes inside the house and more western silhouettes (still from South Asian designers) outside the house/at work. The team was so open to me introducing them to Indian designers. Which is a radical move away from how she’s always been presented: dowdy, cheap, unaware, and out of place.

But really there was a collective vision – Mindy (Kaling), Lang and the costume team wanted to present a professional immigrant woman who had great fashion taste. I also am a big advocate for finding your “life force”–that thing you do where time melts and hours seem like seconds. If you’re passionate about something, keep doing it, keep getting better and keep believing in yourself–that’s success for me. If you attach an end result to your passion–like I want to be on a TV show, or I want to get rich doing it–you’re going to be unhappy. But I was happy to just be an acting student. There were so many times when I had to completely quit being an actor and had to put my head down and work in corporate America. Keep juggling things so you can keep your passion alive. I always say you’re never too old to pursue your passion. My last gig in advertising was in 2016 and while I was moderating a focus group, I got a call that I had bagged a big TV job, and I put my coat on and left.

When I turned 30, I quit my job in advertising, started my own brand consulting firm, and went to acting school full time. He was in advertising and did this theatre thing, so that’s why I did advertising. Also, I interned with Alyque Padamsee in Mumbai, while I was in college. My plan was to have a job that could sustain me and my family financially while figuring out this acting journey. So, my plan was to work and pay the bills while I went to acting classes on the weekends.

I just knew that when I saw a really good movie, my heart would leap out of my body and I just wanted to be a part of whatever that movie magic was. I also didn’t really know what acting was. Like so many people, I had zero connections to the business. And her portrayal of a crime boss in a mainstream Hollywood movie ( The Out-Laws ) is proof of the power that South Asian women are gaining on screen.

Her nuanced character in the hit Netflix series Never Have I Ever coupled with her refined sartorial sensibilities show how Indian women have found a sure footing in the modern world.

She represents a strong and independent immigrant woman, who isn’t awkward and out of place but knows what she wants and believes in her decisions and choices. Jagannathan who started acting in her 30s, has fiercely subverted the cliches associated with the portrayals of South Asian women on film and television. But what she has done best is defy conventions. Actor, producer (she produced Nirbhaya, a play about the shocking 2012 Delhi rape case), former advertising professional and nomadic traveller–are a few of the roles that Jagannathan has embraced in 50 years of her life. Poorna Jagannathan, the endearing Nalini, Devi’s mom from Never Have I Ever, the eclectic mafia maven from The Out-Laws and Priya, the author looking for answers to complexities miring the society, in I’ll Show You Mine, is hard to stereotype or define in a single moniker.
