EastEnders fans demand Kheerat Panesar return as actor shares new role
EastEnders star Jaz Singh Deol, who played Kheerat Panesar on the BBC soap, has revealed his new role
EastEnders devotees are clamouring for the return of Kheerat Panesar, as actor Jaz Singh Deol embarks on a fresh acting venture.
Kheerat first made his mark in Albert Square alongside his brother Jags Panesar (Amar Adatia) back in 2019, when they confronted Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) over a stolen car.
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Kheerat confessed his feelings for Chantelle Atkins (Jessica Plummer), who was tragically murdered by her abusive husband Gray (Toby-Alexander Smith) in September 2020, reports Belfast Live.
The pair had planned to escape the East End together before she was killed in a distressing domestic violence storyline.
Despite owning a pest control business, Kheerat wasn’t as squeaky clean as he appeared, dabbling in illicit activities with the Mitchells.
Regrettably, Kheerat left Walford in November 2022, taking the blame for Suki (Balvinder Sopal) over Ranveer’s murder and ending up behind bars, oblivious to the fact that Ravi (Aaron Thiara) was the actual culprit.
After waving goodbye to the iconic soap, actor Jaz Singh Deol is taking to the stage in a thrilling new production titled Marriage Material, based on the best-selling novel by Sathnam Sanghera.
The talented former soap actor excitedly announced his latest gig to fans via Instagram, sparking a flood of supportive messages alongside pleas for him to make a comeback as Kheerat on EastEnders after being away for three years.
Amidst the congratulatory comments, ardent viewers couldn’t help but voice their desire for his return, with one fan pleading, “Come back to EastEnders plz!.”

Others chimed in with queries about his return, saying, “When are you coming back to EastEnders?”, and “I need Kheerat back!”, while another simply questioned, “Will you be returning to EastEnders?”.
Apart from treading the boards, Jaz is making waves on the big screen too, featuring in a new flick titled Terminal, which has made it into the prestigious Brighton Rocks International Film Festival.
