Ganatra - "I reckon Masood has earned the right to be bad now"

'EastEnders' star Nitin Ganatra has told fans not to expect 'Mr Nice Guy' from his character Masood in the BBC soap in the future.

Warning: spoiler alert!

In an interview with Inside Soap, the actor said: "We've seen the nice side of him, the funny side of him, the compassionate side of him, so I think it's time he toughened up.

"I reckon Masood has earned the right to be bad now."

Viewers will see the postman explode with rage when he discovers that Afia, the love interest of his son Tamwar (Himesh Patel), is actually the daughter of his wife Zainab's (Nina Wadia) first husband Yusuf.

When Masood sees Yusuf in his kitchen he becomes violent.

"There's not even a moment to say hello, he just lays into him and roughs him up, then throws him out of the house," said Ganatra.

"It was lovely as an actor to play Masood with a temper for once, I think he has the potential to get quite dark and violent."
