EastEnders star Suki Panesar's life away from BBC soap from rival drama roles to family tragedy


Balvinder Sopal has become a household name, thanks to her role as Suki Panesar in the BBC soap EastEnders. But away from the cameras, the actress has faced her fair share of ups and downs

Suki has endured a complicated romance with her lover Eve Unwin, strained relations with estranged husband Nish, and her desperate efforts to shield her family from his controlling grasp. Manchester Evening News reports Manjeet has made appearances in various films and TV shows, including EastEnders and Holby City, and is currently a producer for a London-based production company. Her parents have been known to travel far and wide to attend her performances, and Balvinder fondly remembers how her father would often lend a helping hand in setting up spaces for her work - even if it meant tolerating the occasional disruption at home.
