Sanjay, a popular market trader in EastEnders, faces challenges in his personal life including gambling addiction, post-natal depression, and infidelity.
Sanjay was EastEnders' handsome and popular market trader with an eye for the ladies and a bit of a gambling habit.
Not long after, their daughter Sharmilla was born. Yet what could have been a beautiful time in their lives that brought them together drove Sanjay and Gita even further apart, with Gita suffering from post-natal depression and taking a break to stay with relatives. He went on to establish his own film and television production company, Pukkanasha Films, whose mission is to develop and produce a slate of innovative, offbeat, fresh and vibrant feature films by drawing on diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly Indian and western.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, he said: "My character and Shobu character were the first real characters on the show that were proper people. We didn't have accents. I just acted like a Hackney boy, like a barrow boy. We did that 15 years ago. We need to move forwards. It's going backwards." TV viewers have also been fortunate enough to get the odd glimpse or two of Deepak in acting roles, too. 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.
