Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon

Manjula and Apu's Wedding Ceremony.

Manjula (voiced by Jan Hooks, Tress MacNeille in “The Sweetest Apu”) is Apu’s wife and mother of their octuplets. She was arranged to be married to Apu when she was eight (as depicted in The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons) and Apu was to set out to the United States or college (as depicted in “Much Apu About Nothing”). She also works at the Kwik-E-Mart. She claims that Fried Green Tomatoes is her favorite book, movie, and food. She has excellent culinary abilities, demonstrated by her ability to make a wide variety of dishes using only chickpeas, lentils, and rice.

In “The Sweetest Apu,” Apu has an affair with a Squishee lady. After Homer discovers this, he and Marge reveal their discovery to Apu, who eventually caves into the guilt and vows to apologize to Manjula. Manjula, however, already knows and kicks Apu out of the house. With some help from the Simpson family, she eventually agrees to give Apu another chance after he completes an often-vengeful list of grueling tasks fashioned by Manjula. Since then, their relationship has been strained, with the couple been seen attending marriage counseling. Homer seems to think her name is “Apulina.” Once, when the two were arguing in Hindi, he commented he thought “Manjula” is the name of a spaceship. He also misheard her name to be “Mint Julep.”
