Navin Chowdhry has signed up for EastEnders as Nish Panesar.
The actor will make his on-screen debut for the BBC One soap later this autumn, as he takes on the role of the patriarch of the Panesar family, Nish. Nish has just spent two decades in prison, but is desperate to reconnect with his family.
In scenes set to air later this year, charming and charismatic Nish returns to the Square after his incarceration, but hidden underneath his seemingly nice nature, he is cold and manipulative. He needs power and respect and he's determined to get his position back at the top of the family hierarchy and rekindle his marriage with Suki and his connection with the family.
