Kheerat Panesar, the suave and savvy businessman, first made his mark on Albert Square in 2019. From the moment he arrived, it was clear that Kheerat was a force to be reckoned with. With his sharp suits and even sharper mind, he quickly became a key player in the Walford community. But behind that polished exterior was a man deeply committed to his family and willing to do whatever it took to protect them.

Kheerat’s family ties were always at the forefront of his story. As the eldest Panesar sibling, he often found himself playing the role of protector and mediator. Whether it was dealing with his rebellious brother Vinny or trying to keep the peace with his strong-willed mother Suki, Kheerat was the glue that held the Panesar family together. And let’s not forget his ill-fated romance with Chantelle Atkins, which showed us a softer, more vulnerable side of the usually stoic Kheerat.

One of the most traumatic moments in Kheerat’s life was the tragic death of his brother Jags. The loss hit him hard, and it was a turning point that saw Kheerat become even more determined to seek justice and protect his loved ones. His rivalry with Ben Mitchell added another layer of tension to his story, as the two clashed over business and personal matters. But despite the conflicts, Kheerat’s loyalty to his family never wavered.

Kheerat’s love life was just as eventful as his business dealings. His on-again, off-again relationship with Stacey Slater kept us all guessing. Their chemistry was undeniable, and their fiery arguments were the stuff of Walford legend. And who could forget his brief fling with Sharon Watts? Kheerat certainly knew how to keep things interesting in the romance department.

In 2022, Kheerat’s story took a shocking turn when he confessed to the murder of Ranveer Gulati to protect his mother, Suki. It was a selfless act that showed just how far Kheerat was willing to go for his family.
