Last year, business owner Ravi enjoyed a relationship with Chelsea Fox, before he turned his attention to her mum Denise.

The unlucky-in-love character has had bigger things to worry about in recent months, including his ongoing feud with his dad Nish.

But it looks like love is on the cards again for Ravi with an unlikely Walford resident - his ex and the mother of his kids Priya, who is played by Sophie Khan Levy.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun about a potential love interest for his character, Aaron said: "I think with Ravi - Priya has come back into his life. It's been completely unplanned.

"We haven't really seen anything on camera with them.

"I think the push pull between them and their relationship came from a place of chaos.

"It would be interesting if that's explored and what that would do for the dynamic."

It comes not long after Ravi and Nish went to war when he failed to murder Eve Unwin and secretly let her go, after her affair with Suki Panesar was exposed.

Aaron said Nish and Ravi's father and son relationship is a long way off from being mended - saying there's "unfinished business".

He told us at The TV Choice Awards: "Not to step on too many eggshells for the next six months, but there's a lot of unfinished business to come regarding Nish and their whole dynamic.

"There is a lot of betrayal that we will delve into."

Back in October, the Panesar family got a shock when Nugget's mother Priya arrived in Albert Square - with daughter Avani in tow.

Priya's ex, Ravi, had no idea he had a teenage daughter and immediately wanted to be part of her life.
