Poorna Jagannathan loves three-dimensional characters and she got to play one in "Never Have I Ever", a series that the actor says has set the standard for South Asian representation in American shows. It is a dream as an actor to always be part of stuff that shifts the conversation," Jagannathan, 50, told PTI in an interview. "... As South Asian women, our narratives, a lot of times, are dictated... Like, my mother became a widow and her narrative was somehow dictated by society. This show picks up a pen where people usually put the period and starts a whole new chapter for each of our characters of South Asian women," she added. Fisher serves as showrunner on the series, which is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and executive produced by 3 Arts Entertainment's Howard Klein and David Miner.
