- [Devi] Well we did it.
- Yep.
- We had sex.
Okay, well, ah, catch you on the flippity flip.
- I wanted to start off by asking how you guys feel
about where each of your characters ended up.
- I feel like Devi has like, it's not like a end, right?
Because we would assume
that the characters live on and they continue to grow, but-
Grow.
- They don't go in the void?
- No, they do go in the void.
They go into the dark hole void.
But personally for Devi, I'm happy where she ends up
because she's definitely a changed young woman
and still a work in progress.
There is still so much to learn
and I think that's very realistic
and is exciting of where she's gonna go.
- I think that Ben has learned a lot about himself
and I think that he's really finding who he is
and who he wants to be
and I am really proud of his vulnerability,
especially recently.
You look at where he started in episode one
to where he finishes in episode 410,
he has grown so much as a person
and I think that that is fantastic.
I think that he's realized
that being vulnerable is not a weakness.
In fact, it's a strength.
- Being knocked down is something
that Paxton never really had to deal with his entire life
and then he gets into being knocked down in season three,
so he has the strength to get up
and that is the most valuable lesson I think you can learn,
so there's a lot of soul searching,
a lot of finding himself,
but I think it's better for him
that he had to lose parts of himself
that he thought to find them.
- I'm looking back at when I first started this journey
and this character was always really funny
and she was empathetic and it was such a pleasure,
but I always felt it was very different
from who I am in real life.
And as the four years progressed,
the parallels and the mirroring that's going on
is actually very alarming and beautiful at the same time.
My mother got remarried at 64.
I'm raising a teenager who's going to school.
Who is going to college soon.
There's so much in Nalini's journey
that is reflected in my own life and in all of our lives.
- I feel very proud of Kamala's journey
and how much she's grown since season one.
I talk about this a lot,
but I feel like my own personal journey
and things that I've been navigating in my own life
have been really in tandem with Kamala
and it's been so incredible to be a part of a story
where you see these South Asian women not just one,
but four really in the family
and all of them dealing with the same themes of letting go
and self-love and all of those things
but in different ways and how they do it together.
- What are you guys gonna miss most about being on set?
- Just to be a part of a show like this
because there really has never been something
like this before
and we've been so lucky to have had four seasons
of a show like this and to feel the sense of belonging
that we have felt on this show
that we've never felt on any other set before
due to the nature of its centering people who look like us
and I think that that's something that is such a gift
and so rare and it is scary to think that we're leaving this
and we don't know what's gonna be next
or what it's going to look like.
I'm speaking for both of us
'cause I know we feel the same way
that we're just so grateful we've had this
and what we're going to take from it
and carry with us forward.
- Being able to work with such lovely company
that's like what I'll miss the most.
I'm happy with how the story ends.
- Yeah, it's not as much I think we'll miss the characters.
I think it's more so that we'll miss the creation
I think as a whole in like a collaborative effort.
We've all connected so well with the crew
and I know it sounds cliche,
but we really did become a family.
Like Darren said and Maitreyi as well,
it's not over, the creation itself is over,
but the relationships that we made are gonna carry us
throughout our whole lives.
