Parents
Nirmala (mother)
Nirmala used to be a psychologist and moved from Indian Kerala to London with her husband in the 1960s. Despite having an academic profession, she had to work at a Post Office, primarily due to the status of an immigrant. Naveen recalls his parents facing regular racism. This was the main reason Nirmala decided not to teach Naveen an Indian language. In his interviews, Naveen blames his tendency of finding much older women on his imperfect relationship with his mother. Nirmala died in the 1990s still bitter with her son.
