EastEnders actor Navin Chowdhry joined the BBC soap as Nish Panesar back in September last year – and his storylines are getting more and more dramatic with each week.
During Wednesday’s episode (June 7), it looks like Nish could be responsible for attacking Suki.
Nish heads off to a meet-up and Suki calls the police on him, before planning to flee.

But as she speaks to Vinny, Nish returns and accuses Vinny of reporting him – though he’s stunned when Suki admits it was her.
She tells Nish she never loved him as a massive row breaks out, but things soon take a dramatic turn.
When Vinny returns home, he finds Nish standing over Suki’s lifeless body at the bottom of the stairs.
Luckily, Nish actor Navin’s life off-camera isn’t quite as dastardly, and here Daily Star takes a look.

Navin, 52, was born and raised in Bristol and has been professionally acting since he was 16.
As for his family life, the actor has a few relatives that fans may already recognise.
His cousin is well-known comedian Paul Chowdhry, while his mother Simi Chowdhry was a famous activist.
Simi passed away aged 85 in November 2021, with Navin taking to Instagram on the anniversary of her death to pay tribute to his beloved mum.

Back in October, the soap star posed for a photo with his on-screen family as well as his off-screen family, having taken the Panesar’s to watch his cousin perform.
He proudly penned: “When the onscreen family met offscreen family… Our kid smashed it last night! @paulchowdhry you were sharp, savage, poignant and moving. There are very few who can do what you do. You continue to make your dad and both mums so incredibly proud. Take a bow little bro. Welcome back.”
In July 2022, Navin celebrated 11 years of marriage with his wife and shared that his two son’s had turned 10 and seven in April 2022.
