Thank you for asking. Headcanons are so fun. I do in fact have some Chandra Family headcanons. Let’s go.

On their 1 year anniversary, Haresh wanted to send a message to Gita through flowers because he knew how much she loved them, so he looked into the language of flowers except he’s colourblind and got the colours mixed up and instead of the bouquet representing Love and commitment it was more Sorrow and mourning. She thought it was very sweet he had tried so hard but never lets him live it down.

Gita went to college for a business degree and worked as a secretary for several years before bloomin’ lovely. Haresh went to University to study Education and history. They met when he was an NQT while Gita was covering one of the school secretary’s maternity leave.

Gita’s family did not like Haresh. This is an irony that she will not stop pointing out to her husband when he complains about Clyde Langer.

They really struggled to have a baby and had started to give up when Gita got pregnant with Rani.

When she told Haresh, she gave him a packet of seeds, which they planted and when Rani was born Haresh took a bunch of those flowers to the hospital, they used to give Rani one of these flowers for her birthday every year.

They feared for a long time that Rani would grow up lonely, but their daughter had a huge imagination and made friends fairly easily.

When her dad would come home from work and tell her about her day Rani would write ‘news articles’ about his student's shenanigans, he would pin these behind his desk and soon his older students started to compete to get into an article.

Moving to Bannerman Road was the first time that Rani and her dad actually went to the same school and found the transition a little difficult.

It was the garden of their Bannerman road house that really sold Gita.

Rani was 10 when Bloomin’ Lovely began and the early days were filled with her being an unofficial walking advert. When she got a little older she also had to deliver a few things on her bike.

Both sets of Rani’s grandparents adore Clyde. Her maternal set has him draw their dog every time both of them visit. Clyde very much enjoys hearing them talk about Haresh, who they still don’t like.

Years later, Rani’s flat is filled with flowers and plants because there is no garden and Gita insists it makes the place bigger and homier.
