Sanjay Patel is one of the two titular characters of Nickelodeon's animated TV show Sanjay and Craig. He is a very-curious, prepubescent kid who is ready to face any challenges and difficulties that life has ahead for him. Though Sanjay may misunderstand what the penalty of some of the situations Craig and him face, he will always find a way to fix the situation at hand.
History[]
As the theme song states, Sanjay was searching for a pet at the local pet store. In the store, he finds a talking snake named Craig, and they immediately become best friends. Now, both of them find themselves in crazy antics and adventures that place them in the face of trouble...and danger.
Personality[]
Sanjay is the hero of the show. He’s the only one with the big plans, the big dreams, the big heart, and the open mind. Sanjay is Craig’s best friend and the leader of their group of neighborhood buddies. He’s infatuated with larger-than-life heroes and longs to be one himself. Sanjay has no sense of what’s impossible or uncool and as a result, he’s always up for impossibly cool adventures. Enthusiastic to a fault and endlessly curious, every new discovery becomes his new obsession. Excitable, passionate, silly, klutzy and pleased, he’s the ultimate kid.
