Mrs. Koothrappali

Raj's mother. She communicates with Raj via video chat along with her husband (V. M. Koothrappali). She wants Raj to get married and give her grandchildren. She is unimpressed with Penny as a possible mate for her son. She thinks the closer they have to a daughter-in-law is the "Jewish friend", Howard. She enjoys Doogie Howser reruns, which are apparently new to India.
