Ravi Gulati Eastenders mental health storyline to reach climax this month

Published by Daniella Wilson

This article includes discussion of suicide that some readers may find distressing. Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) is to reach a crisis point on EastEnders later this month. The BBC One soap has been airing an ongoing storyline surrounding the character’s mental health in recent months as Ravi has begun to self-harm and grown increasingly erratic and unstable. In a career-best performance from Thiara, viewers have seen Ravi dealing with immense guilt surrounding his criminal exploitation of vulnerable Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) and Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) in a drug operation. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also had to come to terms with violently attacking his son Davinder ‘Nugget’ Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) after being spiked in a revenge plot by the Mitchells, and also dealing with the pressure of being an undercover informant for the police in an organised crime organisation. In the coming weeks, as he continues to fear for protecting his family, Ravi’s spiralling mental health will lead him to consider taking his own life.
