'''Sanjay''' is a student at [[Dimmsdale Elementary School]] that attends [[Denzel Crocker|Mr. Crocker]]'s class. He is one of [[Timmy]]'s "back-up" friends, the other being [[Elmer]].

==Character==
Sanjay appears as one of Timmy's "back-up friends" along with [[Elmer]] (Timmy's main friends are [[A.J.]] and [[Chester McBadbat|Chester]]) and is often striving to get recognition from the other three. He is a stereotypical nerdy student who ''likes'' doing homework so much that he actually reminds the teacher to give it out, much to the chagrin of his classmates. He is revealed to have a crush on Timmy, as seen in “[[Stupid Cupid]]", since his date, [[Kimmy]], looks exactly like Timmy to the point she sounds like him and has three goldfish and carries them around.

===Description===
Sanjay appears to be of Indian (South Asian) descent, as "Sanjay" is a Hindi name meaning "victorious." He wears a tucked in yellow shirt with gray pants and he has round glasses with bluish-green pupils. His hair sort of resembles Chester's, only black. He is apparently the weakest and scrawniest of his friends. Sanjay has an extremely shrill voice, and more often than not screams everything he says.

==Background==
{{Spoiler}}Sanjay is considered to be Timmy's third best friend (though a back up nonetheless). In likeness to this, Sanjay had also stated that he had never been to Timmy's house (thus, showing a lack of friendship between the two). He has a little influence on Elmer because both of them sometimes get colds. He and [[Elmer]] are considered Timmy's "back up friends" and they are even more unpopular at school than Timmy and his friends.

Within the show, Sanjay is portrayed as a rather intelligent character (though not as smart as [[AJ]]). He, like most of Timmy's other friends also suffers the fate of having [[Vicky]] as his baby sitter. Sanjay also appears to have an obsession with [[wikipedia:NASA|NASA]] (in [[Dimmsdale]]).

He also seems to have an obsession with [[Timmy]]. In "[[Escape From Unwish Island]]", he exclaimed, "At last, Timmy has come to rescue me!" Later after he was told that he was dreaming, Sanjay said: "Bye Timmy, see you in my next dream!" In [[Merry Wishmas]], he named the animal he wished for after Timmy, just like [[Tootie]] did. He even got a girlfriend that looks exactly like him in [[Kimmy]].

He was a member of Timmy's [[Squirrel Scout]] troop but he decided to join the [[Squirrely Puffs|Cream Puffs]] instead because he liked their knee socks. In his first appearance in the show, Sanjay was confirmed to being the leader of the Library Club in the Dimmsdale school.

{{Spoiler End}}
===Home and Family Life===
Sanjay lives with his biological mother and his stepfather on a military base. His stepfather is a drill sergeant in the military who trains Sanjay early each morning. Sanjay gets along well with his family including his older stepbrother who has only been seen once who gave Sanjay a lift to school when he missed the bus. The whereabouts of his natural father are unknown at this point.

Sanjay has a pet cat named Omar that has so far only appeared in [[No Substitute For Crazy!]], as well as an elephant he wished up in [[Merry Wishmas]] using [[Wish Coupons]]. He named the elephant after [[Timmy]].
