On the hit Netflix comedy series Never Have I Ever, Davy Vishma Kumar is a horny

overachieving high schooler who will go to extreme lengths to climb the social ladder. The series

was co-created by Mindy Kaling and is very loosely based on her own experiences

She's dealing with raging hormones and doing whatever she can to get into her dream college while

stumbling a lot along the way.
