Penny Was Jealous Of Priya And Leonard's Commonalities
Penny always knew that Leonard would eventually date again when they broke up but she didn't expect him to move on so fast with such a perfect woman. Priya was Raj's sister and she had a connection with Leonard that Penny couldn't deny.
She is the primary love interest of Leonard, who briefly dates her during the third season. This relationship is later resumed in the fifth season and culminates in their engagement at the end of the seventh season and their wedding at the start of season nine.
While she and Leonard ended up together, their relationship was fraught with twists along the way, and it took a few seasons for them to couple up and actually make it stick. Penny wasn't always the loving friend and partner to Leonard that she grew to be by the series' end.

“One of the most underwritten characters in the show early on was Penny.
