Biography[]
Nish Panesar first came to Walford in August 2022 after being released from prison for murder. He soon reunites with his estranged wife Suki along with their daughter Ash and two sons, Kheerat and Vinny, respectively.
Soon enough, Nish begins to settle himself in Walford and starts operating his criminal family business in the square. He also reunites with his other son Ravi Gulati and is currently unaware that the latter's adopted father, Ranveer Gulati, was killed by Ravi shortly after attempting to rape Suki in a forceful attempt to get her to betray Nish by starting a "business" partnership with him instead. As such, Nish is confronted by his family over several events in the past - such as how it partly contributed to the death of his other son Jags just over a year ago.
In 2023, Nish has a dispute with Ravi upon learning that the latter is causing trouble with local policeman Jack Branning by seducing his wife Denise Fox and pursuing the latter's daughter Chelsea around the same time. Weeks later, he is unhappy to learn that Ravi has attacked his employee Keanu Taylor for supposedly grassing up his criminal activities; Ravi is later arrested for this and Nish reluctantly gets him released in order to ensure that Ravi's son, Nugget, will be happy with his father around. Later on Nish berates Ravi for his recklessness before going on to confront Keanu along with his fiancé Sharon Watts and her former husband Phil Mitchell for crossing paths with his family.
Nish and Phil Mitchell manage to strike a business deal together after constant attempts, meanwhile Suki and Eve Unwin have an affair and countlessly try to plot against Nish with an ultimate goal of getting him out of Walford once and for all, so that they can live happily together. However, an argument breaks out between Nish and Suki when he accuses her of cheating on him with Mitch Baker, they shout at each other and Nish accuses Suki of not understanding what pure love is and he persists to say that he may murder again. The next day, Nish and Suki celebrate a big day for their relationship whilst Eve jealously watches Suki, they enjoy the party and Nish dances with Bobby Beale and Freddie Slater. Some time later, Ash leaves Walford and Nish wishes that they had more time together. Nish continues to argue with Suki and persistently threaten her, making Suki want to get rid of Nish more and more. Nugget runs away from Ravi one night and Nish confronts Ravi based off of what Nugget had said and threatens him to never lay a finger on Nugget again but Ravi bounces back and snaps at Nish that he is in no position to judge Ravi’s parenting. Nish then makes it clear that Nugget is staying with him and Suki for as long as he likes. A few nights later, Suki and Eve arrive back home from a business trip however Nish begins to get suspicious of them and the unknown affair. The drama thickens when Ravi’s affair with Denise Fox becomes public and Nish quickly finds out, Ravi visits him and explains but Nish gets angry and furiously punches Ravi in the face and says that Ravi is pathetic. The next day, Nish bans Suki from attending Kheerat’s trial.

Whilst in hospital, Nish visits Sharon Watts and Keanu and threatens the pair of them, and Sharon grabs Nish. Whilst they're in the Queen Vic, Nish and Ravi begin to argue with Phil and Sharon and Sharon makes it public that Ravi had been in jail. Nish backs Ravi up and says that he’s a part of the community as much as anyone else, but Sharon goes against this. Some weeks pass and Billy Mitchell is grieving over Lola Pearce-Brown’s upcoming death, Nish gets into a row with him in the Vic and tries to be respectful, Nish gifts Lexi Pearce a teddy bear and states he understands what’s going on, but Nish then makes a comment about Ben Mitchell which infuriates Billy and then Billy pushes him. and drinks some beers, Nish winds him up and Billy then loses his temper and begins to smash up the Minute Mart, Billy threatens Nish with a metal pole and Billy breaks down infront of everyone but Nish retaliates once again over what Billy had done and Phil throws money in his face.

After Billy’s arrest, Phil and Honey Mitchell plead with Nish to drop the charges against Billy so that he can be there for Lola. Nish refuses to drop the charges resulting in Honey throwing a drink at him, shouting at him that he’s lucky it wasn’t hot. Eventually, after some persuasion and blackmail through Suki, Nish is convinced to drop the charges resulting in Billy being let out.
Vinny is left jealous when Nish asks for help with a job from Ravi, and not him. When he asks to help with the job, Nish calls Vinny immature and naive, telling him that he always causes a mess and leaves him to clean it up. He then tells Vinny that he needs to prove himself in order to be trusted, which causes Vinny to start drinking as the thinks he isn't enough. He confides in Suki, and tells her about the illegal job which causes her to call the police on Nish as she is trying to find a way out of the relationship to get with Eve.

Nish then states how he cannot afford to “get into bed with someone who’s likely to stab me in the back”.

They then confess their love for one another, Nish later arrives home with Priya with the letter waiting on the table for him.

Suki pays Priya £3,000 behind Nish’s back, however Nish watches the two from the window in McKlunkey’s. Soon after, he confronts Priya and Suki and then takes away the money “family don’t rob family” Priya then demands that Suki must find another way to pay her, so Suki consequently robs £200 from the Minute Mart.

Nish stops her but Eve dismisses him and goes to leave the restaurant until Nish angrily follows her and viciously strikes Eve in the face with a champagne bottle, sending her unconscious. Nish then drags Eve into the kitchen as Ravi arrives. Ravi is shocked to see Eve lying there until Nish reveals the full truth. Additionally, Nish implies that he cannot finish Eve off as he’s still on license, so he orders Ravi to do it. Ravi rejects this as he’s still on license too and has a family.

Later on, Jack, discreetly checking on Suki, goes to No. 41 for a tin opener, Nish gives him one and Jack leaves - Jack was instructed by Stacey to do this. When Jack leaves, Nish senses something seems off and grabs the keys out of Suki’s coat and locks the front door so she can’t escape. Back at the table, Suki says she’s going to the bathroom but as Nish predicted, she makes a run for the door, Nish catches her in the act and forces her to come back to the dinner table, despite her saying she doesn’t want to.

Ravi lets go of Nish and aggressively punches him in the face, knocking him into a chair. Ravi then calls Nish out for being a bully and that Ravi won’t allow for Nish to bully his own kids. Nish quickly grabs a rolling pin and bludgeons Ravi in the face, sending knocking him out. Meanwhile, in the Vic, Suki tells Stacey, Linda, Sharon, Denise and Kathy about her conflict with Nish and Eve. One of them insists that Suki calls Nish and informs him to come and talk with her at the Vic and that he won’t do anything because they’d all be there to protect Suki, she then agrees with the idea and calls Nish. It doesn’t take long for him to arrive. When Nish gets there, he is greeted by the six women but asks them to go away and let him and Suki talk in private. They decline and say that they need to be there for Suki. Suki then expresses her true feelings to Nish and that their marriage is over and that she doesn’t want to be with him anymore. Nish refuses to come to terms and Stacey imperatively tells Nish that he needs to understand that Suki doesn’t want him anymore. Nish pleads with Suki to give him another chance and that he’ll make her happy. Suki turns around stating that she can’t bare to look at him. Suddenly, Nish fiercely grabs Suki and attempts to take her away but the women defend Suki and all pull on him to get her off, Nish swings his arms and hits Linda in the face, giving her a thick lip, she then goes to make a call.

The women go and assist Sharon but Suki stays with Nish, desperately giving him CPR in an attempt to save him, after some mouth-to-mouth, Nish starts breathing again and Suki is relieved. She quickly runs and tells Denise that he’s alive.
