Johnny Galecki wished that Aarti Mann's widely disliked character would get a longer run on the sitcom.

The Big Bang Theory featured several guest stars during its successful 12-season run, but not all were equally embraced by fans. One such figure included Aarti Mann, who was introduced as Raj's sister Priya Koothrappali, in season 4 and was romantically involved with Johnny Galecki's Leonard.

The character appeared in a total of 12 episodes throughout the show, leaving fans unimpressed with the character's impact on Penny and Leonard's relationship. But despite the negative reaction from fans, Galecki wanted her to have a more expanded presence in the sitcom.

Introduced in Season 4, Priya would go on to be one of Leonard's significant love interests, played by Johnny Galecki, on The Big Bang Theory. But fans weren't particularly fond of the character, especially as she served as an abstraction in Penny and Leonard's romance.
