Kheerat eventually joined them, but he was left more suspicious than ever by Ranveer\u2019s absence. Ravi dismissed Kheerat\u2019s questions once more, and Suki was given a welcome boost when Ash (Gurlaine Kaur Garcha), Vinny (Shiv Jalota) and Kheerat stayed for a drink with her.<\/p> <p>But Kheerat clashed with Ravi yet again, leading to a tense atmosphere. As Ravi slipped away with Nina, he headed to the prison to visit Nish. The two men discussed Kheerat\u2019s persistent attitude, and Nish assured Ravi that he would soon be a free man and could easily put Kheerat back in his place.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversation, all suddenly became clear \u2013 Nish is also Ravi\u2019s father, and the Panesars have no idea!<\/p>\n<p>With Kheerat\u2019s rivalry with Ravi very much playing a role in this storyline, how will the former feel when he discovers that the man he detests is actually a member of his own family?<\/p>\n<p>The clan are sure to learn the truth one way or another, but the question is how? And given what we\u2019ve already heard about Nish and the way he treated Suki before his incarceration, what kind of destruction will he bring to her life and the lives of their oblivious children?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-nish-panesar-navin-chowdhry-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">EastEnders confirms \u2018ice-cold and manipulative\u2019 Nish Panesar\u2019s arrival<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-suki-ranveer-twist-comment\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">EastEnders\u2019 latest killer twist is nothing new \u2013 and needs retiring<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Visit our dedicated\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/news\/soaps\/eastenders\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">EastEnders<\/a>\u00a0page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;m_4964104444528344133MsoPlainText&quot;\"><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term%3Devergreen-article&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1653564619817000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0sDhD4a27IJuIFtGvlU0xZ&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
