EastEnders: Navin Loves to Work With Steve!
Nish Panesar formed an unexpected connection with Kat Mitchell, with EastEnders viewers scratching their heads. However, his evil motive will soon come to light as he turns aggressive towards his new belle. Well, Chowdhry weighed in on the storyline and pondered a few things.
The actor wondered whether Nish should be wary of facing the consequences of attacking Kat. He said, “I think he (Nish) relishes in the antagonism, and it’s a challenge that he feels totally ready for.” Chowdhry added, “He doesn’t fear Phil at all, but there is an argument to suggest that he should.”
Moreover, Navin expressed interest in filming more scenes alongside Steve McFadden. It sounds explosive, right? The EastEnders star also hinted at the potential showdown between Nish and Phil. He noted, “There has always been a slight flirtation that it may or may not happen.” We wondered if Nish wanted to lock horns with Phil, but Navin had already replied!
He answered, “Steve is a very popular character on EastEnders, and I really enjoy working with him.” So, any scene is always a pleasure for Chowdhry to be a part of. Additionally, the star continued that the audience’s anticipation of a clash between them was valid. Navin, of course, considered the trajectory of the saga. “I think Phil versus Nish is something that the audience would like to see.”
If you don’t know already, Chowdhry previously touched on preparing for the dark scenes. He revealed that his upbringing exposed him to similar narratives of abuse.
