Hill. When she returns to her home in "Arachnids in the UK", she
decides she wants to fully join the Doctor on her travels.In "Demons
of the Punjab" she asks the Doctor if she could go back in time to
visit and learn about the life of her grandmother, Umbreen (Amita
Suman). Thinking she'll meet her grandfather, being given his broken
watch, she finds him no-where. She decides to stay, despite the

the Partition of India, where Umbreen's first husband died.Yaz
struggled with her mental health when she was younger and forced to
have nightmares by the immortal Zellin about the day she ran away from
home in "Can You Hear Me?". Three years on Yaz and Sonya mark the
event with an anniversary dinner. Yaz was found on the side of the
road in the middle of nowhere by a Police Officer after Sonya phoned
them out of fear that Yaz would harm herself. The officer , Anita,
talks to Yaz and proposes a bet with her about the choice she's
making. She located Anita after the Doctor stopped the immortals from
plaguing humans with nightmares as a gratuitous way of saying thank
you. Yasmin Khan (Doctor Who) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
