Luke Smith described Sanjay as "the best mate I've ever had all my life." He was down the hall from Luke at Oxford University. Luke said they clicked straight away; "He's smart, he's cool, he keeps making me laugh." Clyde Langer was jealous upon hearing of his new competitor.
At some point the two made a bet that Sarah Jane would ask if they'd finished their work — two thousand words on pendulum physics — before going out for a burger with everyone else. Sanjay therefore owed Luke five pounds. (TV: Death of the Doctor) Luke later had to retire from a conversation with Sarah Jane and Rani Chandra in Ealing because he'd promised to meet Sanjay at the Union. (TV: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith)
Behind the scenes
If The Sarah Jane Adventures had continued on, Luke would have come out as gay, and Sanjay would have been his boyfriend.[1][2]
