Prem was the first husband of Yasmin Khan's grandmother Umbreen. They were married in August 1947 in the Punjab - just as the arrangements for the partition of India were being finalised. This saw the creation of Pakistan as the country divided along religious lines. Prem was Hindu, but was marrying a Muslim. His brother Manish zealously supported the Hindu cause, and had already murdered the man who was to have officiated at the wedding. The Doctor stepped in to conduct the ceremony herself.
Manish killed Prem soon after, believing him a traitor to their faith.
Played by: Shane Zaza. Appearances: Demons of the Punjab (2018)
- Zaza is primarily a theatre performer, but made a rare film appearance in The Da Vinci Code.
