Aaron Thiara joins ‘EastEnders’ as Ravi Gulati

BBC One’s ‘EastEnders’ introduced yet another new Asian character in Monday night’s episode.

Aaron Thiara will be playing the role of Ravi Gulati, who was introduced as a jail mate in Phil Mitchell’s prison storyline. Thiara will eventually become a Walford resident, as the son of Ranveer (Anil Goutam).

Thiara said, “My heart is filled with immense gratitude to be joining such an iconic show, working alongside a stellar cast and a remarkable production team.”

“It’s a very proud moment for me and my family. This is a wondrous opportunity to approach as an actor, and I can’t wait for people to meet Ravi on screen and witness his roller-coaster of a journey!”

Executive producer Chris Clenshaw added, “Ravi is captivating, cunning and dangerous, and can go from pleasant to menacing with very little warning – unlike Aaron, who’s a wonderful addition to the EastEnders cast.

“We’re all excited to see Aaron bring the character to life and there’s plenty of drama and shocking twists in store – wherever Ravi goes, trouble follows.”
