Ravi Gulati’s Manic Attempt At Protection
The BBC soap star Aaron Thiara has opened up about the mental health crisis surrounding Ravi Gulati. We all saw that Ravi has had a traumatic year, involving a criminal operation. However, now the businessman has spiralled into a state of panic. Also, with this, his entire family is now in a dangerous position.
Now, his behaviour is becoming unpredictable. Hence, his loved ones are struggling to reach him in his manic state. Aaron explains that his character is completely powerless. And that has led to a lockdown situation where he orders the family to remain inside their home indefinitely.
Later, Nugget is cruelly mocked over a viral video of a seizure. Now, the father enters a full panic. He is now convinced that the outside world is a threat he cannot manage. From his perspective, forcing everyone to stay indoors is an ‘act of love’ and the only way to ensure their safety.
Moreover, this disconnect means the resident is unable to recognise how unwell he truly is. By doing so, he has put a strain on Priya and the children. Now, his family feels essentially trapped by his fears.
EastEnders: The Family’s Battle To Understand
The complexity is that the man cannot even untangle his own thoughts. Hence, it has made it impossible for his family to offer the right support. Elsewhere, Suki and Priya have already suggested specialist care. Now, Aaron Thiara notes that the character often disguises his true feelings.
He says, “Especially when people are struggling, they often disguise how they’re really feeling inside. That’s one of the powerful things EastEnders does with issue-led storylines like this, they explore the vast complexities.”
Also, despite the matter, the star praised the “special gift” of working with his co-stars. The actor said, “I hope the audience can simply see a human being in crisis. Some may hold his history against him. But I hope people will see the person underneath it all.” For more EastEnders spoilers and updates keep following Soap Opera Daily.
