EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal, best known for playing Suki Panesar, has left fans shocked after they learned she is just seven years older than her on-screen sons.Actress Balvinder Sopal joined the BBC soap in January and fans have watched her rule her family with an iron fist.But many fans may not know the BBC star's real age is actually 41, making her only a few years older than her sons, Amar, 34, Jaz, 31, Shiv, 26 and 27-year-old Gurlaine.Now her on-screen son Amar Adatia is speaking out about the star’s shocking age, saying she’s barely old enough to be his big sister.He said: "Bal is lovely! We get along really well. It's funny cause there's only seven years between us so I don't look at her as a mother figure when we're not on set, she's a good friend."But as soon as we're on screen she's immediately the mum and matriarch of the family.
