EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders actress Sophie Khan Levy, who plays Priya Nandra-Hart on the BBC soap, has teased plenty of 'love' yet drama ahead for the Panesar household, as well as romance hints
One EastEnders favourite has teased plenty more ahead for the Panesar family, while "mistakes" will bring drama.
Sophie Khan Levy has also teased whether her character Priya Nandra-Hart could finally reunite with ex Ravi Gulati, with more ahead for the pair amid calls from fans for the romance to happen. The actress spoke exclusively to The Mirror at the British Soap Awards 2025, praising her her onscreen family while teasing what fans can expect from the household.
‌
Sophie promised the show would be revisiting Priya and Ravi and whether they might make things work. She also teased more fun and love on the way from the family as a whole, revealing the whole household, including Suki Panesar and Priya and Ravi's kids Avani and Nugget, will feature in new scenes.
‌
There's plenty of "solidarity" between the family, but things might take a turn as they all attempt to be there for each other. Sophie explained, teasing Ravi and Priya's future: "What they do have is love for their kids, and they always put their family first.
"You know, I think everybody wants it, but whether or not they can manage it and can come together or not, I just don't know. We will see." Sophie went on: "They are definitely building something, that's currently a strong famil,y and we'll see if it turns into anything more."
We mentioned how Priya was a huge support to Suki Panesar and Eve Unwin, known as Sukeve to their loyal fans, with viewers also loving the duo who married earlier this year. We also discussed Priya's children Avani and Nugget taking centre stage in their own storylines, and asked Sophie if the family would continue to feature heavily and also stick together as a unit.
The actress revealed she felt "lucky" to be part of the Panesar and Gulati unit, calling her co-stars "family" on and offscreen. She told us: "I think one thing with the Panesar family is you do see that solidarity.
"We're going to see a lot more of that coming up, and how they do work together definitely. But like I say, we don't know if Priya and Ravi are going to be together romantically.
‌
"But for their children, we can definitely expect to see a lot more of them coming together." On her co-stars, she added: "It is such a joy working with everyone in that Panesar family.
"We all get along wonderfully and it really lends itself into playing a family because it feels like that from the inside. I feel very, very lucky to be a part of the family."
Teasing what fans can expect from the coming weeks and months, Sophie told us there could be some trouble on the way. She hinted that the "things we do for love" could see things take an unexpected turn as the characters try to be there for each other."
She spilled: "Love is fully at the centre of that family. The things we do for love can sometimes be, let's say, not quite what you would expect. I think we will see the Panesar family trying to be there for each other and maybe making certain mistakes along the way."
