Rebecca Sarker explains Manpreet’s disappearance

Speaking about Manpreet’s panic attack on the day of Meena’s plea hearing, Rebecca Sarker, who plays Manpreet, has explained in a recent interview: “The day in court for Meena’s plea hearing has been a long time coming for Manpreet.

“She’s overwhelmed and she psyches herself up for it. It’s been like a Sword of Damocles over her head waiting for the day to come.

“At court Meena has been tormenting Manpreet and Liam and playing to her audience. It’s that pressure for Manpreet, so I think that the panic attack is a release from all that angst.

“There’s probably a bit of PTSD as well, so it’s a combination of things.”

She continued: “Manpreet is pretty vulnerable. She’s trying to claw her way back, but this pressure keeps pushing her down and weighing on her.

“The panic attack scene was very interesting to film because I was the only actor on set, so I was very isolated.

“That was useful because Manpreet feels very isolated too.

“She feels the responsibility not just over Meena’s actions, but if she has to take the stand at a trial. That’s weighing very heavily on her shoulders.”
