Where have you seen Sunita's aunties before?
I'm loving, just loving, Sunita's aunties being back on Coronation Street. Anyone else? Anyway, if you think they look familiar, chances are you've seen them before on TV.
Actress Jamila Massey is 76 years old and plays Upma Parekh. She's appeared before in Eastenders, Brookside, Crossroads, The Archers, Albion Market, Jewel in the Crown, Minder, and Z Cars! Jamila has been on Coronation Street before about six years ago and has played another role. Anyone remember who this was? She told the BBC she loves playing Sunita's aunt: "I enjoyed playing the character although she is not too forbidding, like the aunts in the novels of PG Wodehouse."
And actress Indira Joshi plays the other aunty, Grishma. She's the one who's been in The Kumars at No. 42. Her IMDB listing is here, it's pretty extensive.
