Popular EastEnders Set to Leave Soap After 4 Years to Take on New Projects
The actor is said to be leaving to pursue new projects and will remain on the soap until the end of the year, The Sun reported.
- EastEnders star Aaron Thiara is reportedly set to leave the BBC soap after four years in the role of Ravi Gulati, though he will remain on set until the end of the year to complete ongoing storylines.
- Since arriving in 2022, Ravi Gulati has been central to dramatic plots, including discovering his biological link to Nish Panesar and killing Ranveer Gulati in self-defence.
- Much of 2026 has focused on Ravi's mental health and PTSD storyline. Amid fan backlash over his actions toward Harry Mitchell , Thiara urged viewers to "see the person" and "not the villain," with EastEnders working with charity Samaritans on the arc.
- The reported departure follows the confirmed future exit of Kellie Bright, another long-standing cast member. While EastEnders declined to comment, sources indicate Thiara aims to explore new professional opportunities after his successful tenure.
- During his tenure, Thiara earned significant industry recognition, winning Villain of the Year at the 2023 British Soap Awards and receiving a nomination for Serial Drama Performance at the National Television Awards.
