EastEnders star reacts to Ravi's 'redemption' as he teases 'unfinished business'
EastEnders actor Aaron Thiara, who plays Ravi Gulati on the BBC soap, has teased whether his character will continue his redemption.
After months of being a killer and a villain on the show, Ravi has recently gone down a brighter path and has done some good, like the moment he booted his evil father Nish Panesar out of the family home. Back in December Ravi turned against his dad, after Nish forced him to murder someone on his behalf.
Ravi refused, and from this moment on and following the arrival of his secret daughter Avani he decided he wanted to be a better person. Stopping the criminal antics and working on being a family man, Ravi has refused to forgive Nish for everything he's done.
As if manipulating him wasn't bad enough, when Ravi turned against him on Christmas Day he ended up attacking his son and leaving him for dead. Just last month we saw Ravi drag Nish out of the house after his latest attack on ex-wife Suki Panesar, as well as him targeting Kat Slater.

He said: "The joy of playing him is even during the villainous things, he could be good, and there’s always the chance that while being good, it could still go the other way. It's fun to play in that sense."
On what's ahead, he went on: "I think there’s a lot of unfinished business and dynamics to explore between Ravi and Priya, and Ravi and Nish, not only recently but from the past too. That father and son relationship, and also what's happening with Priya and Nish at the moment."
It comes as Nish actor Navin Chowdhry told us there could be a showdown on the cards for Nish and Priya. He explained: "Priya is a wonderful asset to have on-side but my goodness, what a formidable opponent she could be if it goes the other way.
Ravi turned against his dad Nish (BBC/JACK BARNES)"That is something that may or may not be tested." He decided not to reveal any more information on that but hinted it was on the cards.
Priya actress Sophie Khan Levy also spoke to The Mirror about the pair, as she explained why Priya was giving Nish the time of day. She told us: "I think Priya is a fierce mother and that's making her very drawn to being Team Nish, meaning team roof over her head, so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out."
On the family being tested, Navin went on: "There is more than meets the eye, and I think with respect to the Panesars there’s lots of alliances and allegiances tested. There’s betrayals that go deeper and a lot of double crossing.
"It gets very complex, it's a messy family affair that is developing further would you believe that was possible. There’s some messy and awful stuff coming in a good sense. Worse than we have already seen."
