Maitreyi Ramakrishnan gets all bamboozled over this Easter egg in the show
Long before Never Have I Ever came into existence, the show’s co-creator, Mindy Kaling had another beloved comedy show in line, The Mindy Project. Rumors are in the air that Mindy is yet to make a Stan Lee-esque cameo in the latter rom-com series. Now, here’s a catch. If fans remember about The Mindy Project, they’ll know what we’re talking about. For those who are confused, the said show starred Mindy Kaling in the same way as it’s rumoured to be in the present series. Secondly, Lewison and Ramakrishnan’s relationship is exactly like that of Mindy Project’s Danny and Mindy Lahiri.

Not over yet, the last and the most important catch that even got Maitreyi all bamboozled still remains unnoticed. Hear us out. In the Sherman Oaks High School corridor, there’s a trophy case near the gym, and there are two trophies by the name ‘Danny Castellano’. It had the last name engraved and everything got clear from it. On finding this out, Ramakrishnan was like, “I never knew if that was on purpose.” However, to her surprise, in perfect Ben-and-Devi-banter form, Lewison added, “No, for sure it was on purpose.”
