Which actress played Priya Koothrappali?

Aarti Mann played Priya Koothrappali in The Big Bang Theory.

Priya is Rajesh Koothrappali’s younger sister. She is introduced as a successful attorney working for a major Indian automobile company and becomes Leonard Hofstadter’s romantic partner during the fourth season and part of the fifth.

Mann’s role was recurring rather than part of the original five-character ensemble. Priya’s storyline is often remembered because it complicated Leonard and Penny’s relationship while also creating tension with Raj, who disliked Leonard dating his sister.

A common mix-up is confusing Priya’s actress with the performers who played other recurring women in the series. Riki Lindhome played Ramona Nowitzki, Laura Spencer played Emily Sweeney, and Alice Amter played Mrs. V. M. Koothrappali, Raj’s mother. Aarti Mann’s Priya appeared in seasons 4 and 5.
