He is voiced by British actor Hajaz Akram.
History[]
Background[]
As a DJ for a world music station, Panjit constantly speaks of his native India and his brother-in-law who works for an airport and his cousin, Rajiv, who is a taxi driver. His world beat music reminds English-speaking people of Pakistanis performing music for a native audience.
Gavaskar potentially breaks the fourth wall by suggesting that "In a past life, I was in Liberty City, but...maybe in the future? Oh no, this Hummus is going bad, I don't normally see tracers!". Among Panjit's humorous commentary include lines like "Rajiv Gavaskar, my dirty cousin, you were always a greedy, fat and nasty little boy, now you are a greedy, fat, and nasty little cab driver! Your wife is only sacred because she is the cow and how you milk her, you're a disgusting parasite Rajiv!" Also saying "They say in the land of the blind the king is the guy with one eye, but what about the land of the dumb? Who is in king there?" and "Whoa! That was some fantastic record that was! Like a fertility dance! Gosh I feel so fertile now, I want to bang a statue!".
Panjit is also possibly of British descent, as he can be heard using the terms "ponce" and "bollocks" on one occasion each.
Concepts Panjit Comments On[]
- Democracy - Compares it to a goddess with three breasts; it seems like a good idea at first, but you'll get carried away and get slapped.
- Winter - He complains about people who move to India who mourn about not having snow.
- Rock and Roll Music - He calls it "music for the genitals" while world beat music is "music for the soul".
Trivia[]
- Before Neeve Nanna plays, Panjit gives a message from his cousin "driving a cab right now in Shoreside Vale" in which Panjit says that Rajiv hopes "people can lose a bit of weight as you're ruining the suspension in his cab", mocking obesity issues in the USA.
