Former EastEnders star Jaz Singh Deol has revealed he has a huge new job. The Kheerat Panesar actor suddenly quit the soap last year after three years.
He played businessman Kheerat for more than 200 episodes. However, his time in Walford came to an end when Kheerat confessed to the murder of Ranveer Gulati to protect his mother Suki.

EastEnders star Jaz Singh Deol reveals new job
Now actor Jaz has revealed his new project. He has launched a new platform to help actors break into the industry through coaching and mentoring.
Sharing the news on his Instagram, Jaz said: “I’m very excited to share with you all @theactorspath.”
He said it is “focused on sharing my ever-evolving insights, knowledge and experience of walking this particular journey. Especially as a person of colour in this industry.”
He added: “I’ve had and still have coaches who, without a shadow of doubt, helped me thrive and define my career as it is today. And I believe now the time has come for me to do the same for others. Sometimes you need an outside eye to help you see the road ahead.”
The actor ended by asking any interested actors to book directly from the new programme’s Instagram page.
Jaz’s final scenes as Kheerat saw bid an emotional farewell to Stacey before his arrest. “I have held my family together, I have fought for my brothers, I have mediated between my sister and my mum,” he told her.
“And I’ve pushed myself to be this superhuman businessman and I lost myself. You are the one that’s found me, but this is bigger than this. If my mum goes to prison, my entire family’s going to fall apart, and I can’t let that happen.”

He was taken away by police and not seen again. News came some months later than he had been sentenced to life in prison for the murder.
However, viewers know that Ravi was really responsible and not Suki. Could that mean a future return for Kheerat is on the cards?
EastEnders usually airs weeknights at 7.30pm on BBC One.
