Yeah he does. They are rivals so they make fun of each other constantly.
If you are watching with subtitles/no sound, you may not realize that they pronounce Devi like Davey, which is why that joke works.

The Ganapati puja episode was probably lifted straight from Mindy Kaling’s childhood. People don’t do arranged marriages like in the show either. You can go on dates and the guy is typically not going to come over and do a meet and greet with the whole family.
Maybe you're just raised in a particularly modern family, but I can assure you that all of these things are still very much present in some families.

Late to the party but I just flew through the first 4 episodes and I love the show! I am an Indian-American girl, used to have crushes on boys but was never as boy-crazy as Devi. But I too was a nerd who didn’t realize how good-looking I was until I went to college! I was surprised when I saw her geometry book bc she said she was taking all APs later on? And the scene with the college counselor rang all too true (sadly).

Her character has a similar humor to the dad on Kim's Convenience, who also cracks me up.

I noticed that too! They said it confidently and pronounced it correctly.

My best friend growing up was Indian American (Bengali) and some of the scenes felt like being back at her house. I got yelled at for having books on the floor near my feet during a study session. Her mom (like a second mom) made me go with them to get blessed the next time. Remarkably my friend was more like the Stanford student returning home on the show, realizing early how cool and beautiful her culture is. I was less confident in high school and would probably have been more like Devi, ashamed or feeling apart of it, at least until the cool guy said the sari looked pretty.
The moms lines are hilarious.
I love when Paxton gives her mom news at the hospital and the mom fires back with “what are her vitals” LOL
Or when she says “oh will you take your little baby to Princeton with you?”
