What’s it like taking a bunch of fake family photos? As soon as I met her I was like, “Okay! The show will be okay.” Also, she looks like she could be my daughter, and I knew how Poorna looked, and automatically it felt like we looked like a family. I met Maitreyi when we had some wardrobe fittings and had to take some old family photos. I was a fan of her work, but I’d never met her before, and Maitreyi was brand-new out of high school. The show depends on a realistic family dynamic between you, Poorna, and Maitreyi. Shout-out to the line producers JP Finn and Leanne Moore for making it work out, because it definitely was not easy. I spent a lot of last year flying between Vancouver and L.A.

Did Mindy approach you for this because you’d worked together? You played Kelly’s pediatrician fiancé Ravi on The Office. I asked him and he was like, “Oh my God, who is this guy and where is security?” I got it and it was signed, and it’s here in my house.

We were talking about his tennis academy, because my kids play tennis at his academy here in New York. John McEnroe is going to be the narrator.” I thought, “Will I get to have a scene with him?” I didn’t, but I did get to be on set with him and talk with him.Ī post shared by Sendhil Ramamurthy did you talk about? She was like, “I know you’re a huge tennis nut. Mindy knows I’m a huge tennis fan, too, so the chance to meet John McEnroe was a huge draw for me. I still play three or four times a week in a league here in New York. I traveled all over the country playing tennis tournaments. I’ve been playing tennis since I was about 5 years old. I feel like you need to weigh in on Team Paxton versus Team Ben.Īs Devi’s father, I’m team keep your damn hands off my daughter! They’re both lovely boys and I’m sure their mother and father loved them very much, but they can stay away from Devi. ![]() ![]() Ramamurthy was also happy to weigh in on the Paxton/Ben debate, the surprising dad thirst for his character, and his bond with fellow Heroes actor turned dead TV dad Milo Ventimiglia. Vulture caught up with actor Sendhil Ramamurthy, who turns out to be just as big of a tennis fan as Mohan, and has a McEnroe story of his own. Mohan, an optimistic guy and humongous tennis fan, lingers for Devi and her mom in flashbacks and memories of happier times, and also in the fact that the show is narrated by his idol, John McEnroe.
