Chowdhry’s portrayal of the manipulative and controlling Nish Panesar has left a lasting impression on both the show’s audience and his fellow cast members. “Navin has made quite the impact on the show in the two years he has been a part of it, especially as a key part of the huge Christmas storyline with The Six. He’ll be missed by cast, crew, and viewers alike,” the source added.
Though the timing of his exit is still under wraps, it’s expected to be tied to one of the soap’s major storylines. There is speculation that it could coincide with EastEnders’ explosive Christmas episodes or even as part of the show’s 40th-anniversary celebrations next February.
