Fun fact
She had never acted professionally before landing the lead role in Never Have I Ever — she found the audition notice on Twitter and put herself on tape.
The verdict
Born and raised in Mississauga, and cast as the lead in Never Have I Ever straight out of an open casting call with zero professional acting credits to her name. Born, raised, five points.
