Anu (Rati Gupta)
The Raj Relationship That Almost Became A Marriage
By the 12th season, Raj was tired of failing at love and looked to his father for help. He decided to partake in an arranged marriage with a woman named Anu who was also in California. Anu was a Raj girlfriend in TheBig Bang Theory who had a ton of potential, and many thought that their courtship would go a lot farther than it did.
The two actually got along very well, although Anu was more organized and assertive. Eventually, the lack of romance in their courtship got the best of Raj, and he wanted to try dating her for a while before rushing into marriage. The two made it work and were quite lovely together, but it wasn’t love. Things fell apart when Anu moved to London and Raj stayed back in Pasadena.

Issabella and Raj only went on one date, but she was nonetheless one of the more promising Big Bang Theory Raj girlfriends.

After meeting her, Raj decided to help her around campus as the two got to know each other.

However, Leonard guessed that Raj had met a fellow astronomer and Raj didn’t correct him.

Nell (Beth Behrs)
Raj Lost One Of His Best Girlfriends On The Big Bang Theory To Her Ex-Husband
Nell was certainly one of the best Raj girlfriend Big Bang Theory characters. The two met in season 11 after Nell saw one of Raj’s planetarium shows. She was confident and direct and told Raj how much she enjoyed the show before taking a selfie with him. Later on, Raj and Nell had been seeing each other, and she loved how caring he was.
Unlike Raj’s other girlfriends, Nell was extremely approachable. Sadly, Nell was still technically married to her husband and had only been separated for two weeks. The two kept seeing each other but once her ex-husband contacted Raj, that was the end of the Nell era.

Emily (Laura Spencer)
Raj’s Most Serious Girlfriend
Emily Sweeney was Raj’s long-term, most serious girlfriend and nearly the best Big Bang Theory Raj girlfriend. The two had a tough start, with Raj using Amy as his primary means of communication through a dating website. But eventually, they fell for each other. However, unlike Bernadette, Penny, and Amy, Emily didn’t hang out with the other girlfriends. Emily didn’t like Penny in particular because of Penny and Raj’s “one-night stand.”
Emily always kept her distance from the group and didn’t like Sheldon’s treatment. She also had previously been set up on a disastrous blind date with Howard, before Howard began dating Bernadette. But for as long as these two dated, they were very different. Emily was into dark and creepy things, while Raj was more into Legally Blonde. Raj eventually followed his heart and broke up with Emily for Claire.

Claire (Alessandra Torresani)
The Best Match Raj Ever Found In The Big Bang Theory
Claire was Raj’s friend, lover, and ex, but she was arguably his perfect match and the best Raj girlfriend Big Bang Theory character. The two met at the comic book store and were completely platonic, with Claire being a screenwriter and penning a children’s sci-fi movie she wanted Raj’s expertise as an astrophysicist. It was through their friendship that they both started having feelings for each other, though Raj liked her first.
The problem is, they were both on and off with their exes. But the real beauty about Claire and Raj is how honest they were with each other! Viewers have never seen Raj more upfront and open than with Claire. Was he a little self-conscious about their unlabeled relationship? Sure. But it totally worked. Sadly, Claire and Raj didn’t last long and fans never saw her again once they mutually agreed to end it, but out of every girlfriend Raj has in The Big Bang Theory, Claire was the perfect fit for Raj.
