Priya Patel

Priya is one of the characters on Champions. She is the mother of Michael and former high school girlfriend of Vince. She is portrayed by Mindy Kaling.

Priya works as a nurse in Cleveland, Ohio. She raised her son Michael alone, choosing to hide the identity of his father, Vince, out of embarassment, a choice accepted by Vince as well.

Priya has a close connection with her son. They both watch the same shows and have a common inner world. She encourages Michael to dream big, albeit the celebrity treatment she gives him along with never managing to do home chores, resulted in making Michael a bit spoiled.
