Nugget’s seizure tormentor exposed in EastEnders with unexpected reaction from Ravi

EastEnders’ Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) is stunned next week when it is revealed that a familiar face is responsible for posting footage of him having a seizure online.

But when the bully is exposed, the teen is stunned by the reaction from his dad Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), who is struggling amid a mental health crisis.

Nugget’s world was recently turned upside down when he was diagnosed with epilepsy following a brutal attack, which, unbeknownst to him, was carried out by a hallucinating Ravi.

Having slowly been rebuilding his confidence following his diagnosis, Nugget suffers another setback when his sister Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) informs him that someone at school posted a video of him having a recent seizure at McClunky’s on social media.

The siblings head to tell Ravi, who insists he will sort it, but when Nugget later discovers that Will Mitchell (Freddie Philips) is responsible, Ravi is completely despondent.

Ravi’s reaction is a shock, given that this is the man who once dangled Barney Mitchelli (Lewis Bridgeman) off a bridge when he wrongly believed he was dating daughter Avani.

Still, Ravi, Nugget and Will head to the caff to talk about the matter with Will’s parents Honey and Billy Mitchell (Emma Barton and Perry Fenwick).

However, when Ravi doesn’t step up to sort things like usual, an upset Nugget leaves.

Meanwhile, Ravi’s partner Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan-Levy) is deeply concerned about his worsening state and later confides in Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).

She is shocked to learn what has been going on and agrees to pay for Ravi to see a private therapist, but it’s clear he’s upset that his stepmother now knows about his struggles.

Will Ravi accept the help he needs?
