This article explores the character of Sanjay Kapoor from the British soap opera EastEnders. It details his arrival in Walford, his tumultuous relationship with his wife Gita, and the dramatic storylines that unfolded for the family.
Sanjay was EastEnders' handsome and popular market trader with an eye for the ladies and a bit of a gambling habit. Played by actor Deepak Verma , he first arrived in Albert Square with his heavily-pregnant wife Gita in February 1993, after persuading a friend to give him a pitch in the market for his clothes stall.
So when Gita returned unexpectedly, only to find Sanjay in bed with her snooty sister Meena, it was only the beginning of five years of twists and turns for the family in Walford, including Sanjay being wrongly accused of Gita's murder. Asked why he wanted to become a film producer, Deepak answered: "It was the only way to take a real grasp of my career. At first it felt like it was a bit of a mysterious land. But through my existing contacts, I delved a bit deeper and found one or two people who could help."
In 2017, Deepak was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in the Birthday Honours list, awarded to him by then-Prince Charles, for services to the arts.
