EastEnders star Aaron Thiara caused quite the stir when he joined the BBC soap earlier this year.
The actor, 29, was cast as Ranveer Gulati’s son Ravi on the show and quickly set about murdering his own father shortly after being released from prison in a stunning twist.
Before joining the show, Aaron starred in a number of stage productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

As a showdown between Ravi and Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) looms, Daily Star takes a look inside Aaron’s life away from Albert Square.
Young life
Aaron was born in Wolverhampton in May 1993.
The young star later moved to Birmingham with his family, where he spent the majority of his teenage years and developed the acting bug.
From 2011 – 2014, Aaron trained at the East 15 Acting School in Essex and soon found early success on the stage before moving to the realm of television.
Early career
Aaron was employed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2014 and spent a number of years touring the UK in adaptations including The Taming of the Shrew and As You Like It.
In 2017, he also made his screen acting debut in TV movie The Boy With The Topknot.
Of his early career, Aaron recently told OK! magazine: “Having all those previous experiences helped me with this.
“I quickly learned that if you come in with a bold mindset and work ethic you’re halfway there.”
Model looks
Aaron left EastEnders fans swooning with his show debut earlier in the year, and it isn’t a stretch to see why.
The actor regularly posts photos of himself to Instagram and is praised for being “hot” and “gorgeous” by followers – and his attractiveness is no fluke.
Aaron maintains his buff appearance via his holistic lifestyle and writing on his website, described fitness as being “at the very core of his being.”
He wrote: “Physical exercise has always been a huge part of my life.”
EastEnders future
Aaron has become a soap staple since making his EastEnders debut but his days on Albert Square could soon be numbered.
Following his fallout with Kheerat, fans will see Ravi attempt to kiss his girlfriend Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Stacey later inform Kheerat of that fact – leading the pair to brawl on the streets of Walford.
With the secret of his father’s murder also heavy on his shoulders, will Ravi manage to get out of both situations unscathed?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC at 7.30pm
