Emmerdale confirms new villain as Jai Sharma's real father arrives in the village

ok.co.uk:

Emmerdale’s next villain has been confirmed after Jai Sharma’s real father, Amit Sharma, arrived in the village. Anil Goutam, who plays Amit, has hinted he is the new bad boy, as he makes his debut on the soap, in a surprise to his two sons, Jai and Suni.

Viewers will recall Amit was first mentioned during the summer when Suni made his way to Emmerdale for Jai’s wedding. It was later confirmed in heartbreaking scenes that Rishi Sharma was not actually Jai’s father but Amit is because his mum Georgia once had an affair with him when she worked as his secretary.

On Monday, 9 October, Amit arrived at the Hide, where both Suni and Jai work, as he looked to make amends with his boys. Speaking to OK!

and other members of the media, Anil explained what fans of the show can expect from his character. He said: “I'm really pleased with how it's been written because there are lots of complexities in this guy. "Emmerdale allowed me that freedom, and they spent time talking to me – the show's producer Laura Shaw spoke to me about the character and asked what my thoughts on him were as well. "Amit has a darker side to him, but not in his own mind!
