What Avantika Wanted to See in Not Suitable for Work Season 2

As the Hulu series proved with Abby—not to mention BFF AJ Pascarelli (Ella Hunt) and her entanglements with her boss Bill Gibson (Jay Ellis) and later, co-worker Davis Barrett (Will Agnus)—mixing work and pleasure isn’t always a good idea. 

Avantika was looking forward to seeing where Abby’s life would go after returning to work for Vanessa.

“It’s really interesting managing that with an ambitious lifestyle and an ambitious spirit,” the 21-year-old reflected. “That was going to be a fun lens and fun perspective to dive into, especially considering she’s Desi.”

“We are all raised to be these independent go-getters,” she continued, “but we all also want love. I was excited to see that.” 

Although the American Horror Story actress had to bid Abby farewell for now, she’s living her own ambitious life in New York City, which always kicks off the Diwali season with some sparkles.

“It feels like a little tradition to start the Diwali season off with a party where I can celebrate with my friends,” the actress—who hosted the soirée alongside Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ Aryan Simhadri and influencer Aditya Madiraju—explained. “I love bringing my friends from all different cultures to this party and introducing them to light and what it means to be in the spirit of Diwali.”

After all, the South Asian holiday—which falls on Nov. 8 this year—carries a golden message for everyone who celebrates.

“While it is light over dark, good over evil,” Avantika added, “it’s also a spirit of gratitude that you carry through these months, because you’re constantly invited to people’s homes for dinners and constantly invited to spend time with your friends and celebrate and be surrounded by good food, good music and good culture.” 

While fans won’t be adding season two of Not Suitable for Work to their must-watch list, keep reading for the fate of more beloved TV shows.
