Amit Sharma makes drastic decision as Rishi’s secret threatened to be exposed in Emmerdale
VIEWERS have grown increasingly suspicious of Amit Sharma after it was revealed he was present when his brother Rishi died.
But when his secret is almost uncovered next week, the Emmerdale newcomer makes a huge decision.
Former EastEnders actor Anil Goutam rocked up the ITV Dales for the first time earlier this year as he took on the role of Suni and Jai's father, Amit Sharma.
At the time, Jai Sharma had just figured out he'd been adopted and finally learned Amit, Rishi's brother, was his biological father.
Once Rishi passed away from a seemingly accidental fall down his stairs, the plot thickened as Amit revealed he was present when his brother died.
To make matters worse, Ami was shown to be hostile towards his son Suni's boyfriend, Nicky Milligan (Lewis Cope) as the pair were caught up in a heated exchange.

When Nicky confronted Amit with the knowledge he was with Rishi when he died, the newcomer punched him before getting accused of being homophobic.
Most of the family, including Jai's wife Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) have been keeping their distance from Amit.
Coming up next week, failing to connect with Laurel and the rest of the family, Amit decides it's time for him to return to India.
The decision leaves Suni (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) shocked beyond belief and, the following day, he tries to convince Lauren to change her mind about Amit.

Suni also attempts to get Amit to reconsider leaving the Dales.
Later on, Laurel tries to find out from Nicky why Amit punched him, neither aware that the latter is watching suspiciously, worried his secret could get out.
Suni books a night out with Nicky, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) and Ethan Anderson (Emile John) for the next day.
But with Suni untrusting whether Nicky has kept the secret, he calls time on their relationship, but is instantly regretful.
Suni tries to distance himself from his father and soon their relationship seems broken.
