Lalita is in her mid-twenties and grew up in the same neighborhood as Raj. As a child, she used to bully Raj by kicking him in the groin, or "samosas" as according to Raj, and calling him an "untouchable"; however, as adults, it turned out that their parents had arranged their marriage, the main reason being Raj's mother thought that he should be married at his age and that she and his father wanted grandchildren. As it turned out, just like Raj, she is also in America, to be a dental student at the University of Southern California. Raj detested this as he remembered clearly his experience being bullied by her, calling her pushy and fat. She is also known as "Little Lalita", and her father plays golf alongside Raj's father.
