Profile
Gita moved to Bannerman Road with her family when children were being abducted by a clown known as Odd Bob the Clown. When she first met Sarah Jane Smith she told her that Rani wanted to be a Journalist like Sarah and believed Rani to be doing work experience with Sarah as she was defeating the Pied Piper. Gita is an easy-going, sociable person. In contrast with Maria's mother, she quickly embraced her neighbors from over the road, and saw them as chiefly positive influences on her daughter's life. She also appeared to have a strong bond with her husband. She claimed that the reason she had recently gained weight was because her husband had a Dawn French fetish. (SJA: Day of the Clown) She was a a Gemini and as such was one of the first to be taken over by Truman and the Ancient Lights. She became a member of Truman's inner circle, although seemed to have no memory of what happened during the incident after Trueman was defeated. (SJA: Secrets of the Stars) She briefly let Clyde Langer visit Rani but she was nearly erazed from time but Sarah Jane restored every thing. Clyde and Rani in the meantime met a Parallel universe version of her (SJA: The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith) When she was working in her florist she was kidnapped by Mrs Wormwood and put in a trance. She did this to catch Sarah Jane's attention. Gita was rescued when the Bane tried to catch and eat Mrs Wormwood alive. She seemed to have no memory of the incident. Later that day Cal Kilburne went to Sarah Janes house she found him and invited him in for coffee. He led her to believe that he was Sarah Jane's Nephew but infact he was Bane. (SJA: Enemy of the Bane) She also seems to have problems getting Sarah Jane's name right like Chrissie, often just referring to her as Sarah.
