Satya Khanna

played by Jamila Massey

Description

The arrival of Auntie Satya in Ambridge usually heralds a flurry of advice, whether welcome or not, for Usha Gupta. This is not to say that Usha doesn't love her well-meaning, if a little overbearing, relative. It's just that Satya's ideas of what's good for Usha rarely, if ever, tally with her own. When Usha fell for and married the local vicar Alan Franks there was even more potential for conflict. But Satya rose to the occasion and was the driving force behind the Hindu leg of the wedding.
