EastEnders viewers believe a long-awaited comeback could finally spell the end for Ravi Gulati, as fans share bold theories that his half-brother Kheerat Panesar will return to Walford and expose his crimes once and for all.

Ravi’s Dangerous Empire Unravels

Ravi has plunged deeper into the criminal world in recent weeks after Bernie Taylor’s theft left his family’s businesses on the brink of collapse. Desperate for cash, he made a secret deal with Nicola Mitchell, hiding drugs in his car and enlisting Okie to distribute them.

But when Kojo stumbled across the stash and flushed it down the toilet, everything started to fall apart. To cover his tracks, Ravi turned Kojo’s flat into a drug den, dragging him further into danger. Meanwhile, Harry Mitchell found himself working for Ravi in a frantic attempt to pay off his debts.

Now, Nicola’s ex-husband Teddy has secretly planted a hidden camera in Kojo’s flat, hoping to expose Ravi’s operation. But with Ravi closing in and the camera discovered, fans are convinced that the only person capable of taking him down is his estranged brother.

The Return of Kheerat Panesar?

Long-time viewers will remember that Kheerat (Jaz Deol) left EastEnders in 2022 after taking the blame for Ranveer Gulati’s murder — a crime that was, in truth, committed by Ravi. When Suki Panesar struck Ranveer in self-defence during an attempted assault, it was Ravi who delivered the fatal blow. But Kheerat, determined to protect his mother, went to prison in her place.

Now, with Ravi’s empire collapsing, fans believe the timing is perfect for Kheerat’s redemption.

Fans Rally for Kheerat’s Comeback

Social media has erupted with speculation. One fan wrote on X, “When will we actually see Kheerat again? I’m tired of Ravi’s evil ways.” Another added, “Just bring Kheerat back, man. At least he can teach Ravi a lesson.”

A third commented, “It’s time for Ravi to get sent down and Kheerat to get out.”

The idea of Kheerat returning to clear his name — and bring his brother’s empire crashing down — has quickly gained traction among viewers.

Could Writers Bring Him Back?

While the BBC hasn’t confirmed Kheerat’s return, his storyline remains unresolved, and EastEnders fans are hopeful that justice could finally be served. If he were to return, it would mark one of the soap’s most dramatic family showdowns in years — a battle of loyalty, betrayal, and long-awaited revenge.

As one viewer summed it up, “Ravi’s downfall should come from the one person he never expected — his brother.”
