Upma

Upma was an aunt of Sunita Alahan. She lived in Gujrat. In February 2010, Upma and Grishma visited the UK and went to Weatherfield to see Sunita, her husband Dev and twins Aadi and Asha before going to Sunita's cousin's house in Dudley. The aunts had no idea that Sunita and Dev were divorced so for their benefit the Alahans pretended to still be married for the duration of their visit, initially thought to be short but later extended by the aunts as they were enjoying themselves so much.

Prior to Upma and Grishma's departure on the 26th February, they made themselves at home and visited Dev's chain of Corner Shops. They were puzzled however by the fact that Dev wasn't sleeping with Sunita but on an airbed by himself, and that Aadi had remarked that he wasn't used to Dev being in the house so much. Dev and Sunita managed to explain the mysteries, but their cover was almost blown when Sunita's ex-boyfriend Matt Davis showed up at the house to try to convince her to get back together with him. When the aunts arrived in the house, Sunita ushered him out as quickly as possible, explaining that he was the childrens' Maths tutor.

Upma has a son called Kal, a profession dancer in Vancouver.
