Nitin Ganatra to return to ‘EastEnders’ with new family

Nitin Ganatra is set to return to BBC One’s iconic show ‘EastEnders’ to reprise his role as Masood Ahmed.

The actor, who exited the show last November to reunite with his ex-wife, Zainab, will be back in Walford with new members of his family.

Talking about his return on the show, Ganatra was cited in Radio Times saying, “It was a lovely surprise to be asked back to EastEnders so soon after I left. In fact I was bowled over.

“When I was told Masood has still much to give to the show and is missed by the audience, it was hard to refuse. It is with great pride that I will grow my Masood goatie once again to help create and base an extended family around him. Exciting days to come Walford with Masood back on the Square.”

Ganatra joined ‘EastEnders’ in 2007.
