Rumours are swirling in Albert Square that a fan favourite could be making a dramatic comeback, spelling serious trouble for current Walford villain Ravi Gulati. Reports suggest that Kheerat Panesar, who is currently serving a life sentence, could be set for an explosive prison release, returning with one goal in mind: to take down the half-brother who betrayed him.

Since Jaz Deol’s departure in November 2022, fans have been vocal in their demands for Kheerat’s return, feeling his exit was unjustified. His final scenes saw him confess to a murder to protect his mother, Suki, unaware that it was, in fact, Ravi who delivered the fatal blow. As the true nature of Ravi’s crimes becomes increasingly apparent, viewers believe Kheerat’s return is not just possible, but necessary for justice.

The shocking revelation that Ravi was the real killer of Ranveer Gulati is not the only deception the villain has orchestrated. Ravi’s rise to power has been built on a foundation of lies and manipulation. The recent discovery of his illicit drug operation and the financial ruin he has inflicted upon the Panesar family businesses, following Bernadette Taylor’s embezzlement, have left Ravi’s empire in tatters.

This provides the perfect opening for Kheerat to return and deliver the final blow. An insider from the show suggests that with Ravi’s criminal dealings intensifying and his empire crumbling, Kheerat’s return would be the perfect storm to completely destroy his half-brother.

The last encounter between Kheerat and Ravi ended with Kheerat behind bars, sacrificing his freedom for his family. However, a lot has changed since then. Suki has been released from prison, Nish Panesar is dead, and Ravi is now struggling to maintain control of his crumbling empire.

With the Panesar family still reeling from Ravi’s betrayals, Kheerat’s return would undoubtedly see him join forces with his siblings and Suki to take on the man who destroyed their family. The potential storyline promises an explosive and dramatic conclusion, as Kheerat seeks justice for his wrongful imprisonment and revenge for his family’s pain.

As Ravi becomes increasingly desperate, resorting to violent threats and manipulation, the stage is set for a dramatic confrontation. Fans have long speculated that the truth about Ranveer’s murder would eventually come out, paving the way for Kheerat’s return.

With Ravi cornered and his web of lies unravelling, Kheerat’s long-awaited return would serve as the ultimate poetic justice. The upcoming months could see the Panesar family finally unite to destroy Ravi’s empire and see him face the consequences of his actions. For Ravi, the walls are closing in, and for Kheerat, justice is within reach.
