EastEnders' Sanjay star Deepak Verma unrecognisable 26 years since soap exit


Sanjay Kapoor is one of EastEnders' most memorable characters in its 38 year history, but the actor who played him, Deepak Verma, is completely unrecognisable today

Played by actor Deepak Verma, he first arrived in Albert Square with his heavily-pregnant wife Gita ( Shobu Kapoor) in February 1993, after persuading a friend to give him a pitch in the market for his clothes stall. In 2017, Deepak was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Birthday Honours list, awarded to him by then- Prince Charles, for services to the arts. He appeared in episodes of EastEnders rival soap Doctors, as well as Holby City and he played a wealthy vascular surgeon in The Good Karma Hospital.
