EastEnders fans were left in disbelief after the actress who will be playing Nugget's little sister was unveiled. The new soap star, who will portray Avani, has left fans bewildered as she appears much older than the character she is playing.
Age Discrepancy Sparks Outrage
Many viewers have expressed their frustration with BBC bosses for casting Aaliyah James in the role. Some argue that it will create confidence issues for teenagers who may struggle to live up to the beauty standards of an adult.
Aaliyah's character is supposed to be 13 years old, but the actress is actually 23. This has led some fans to criticize the casting decision, stating that it promotes unrealistic standards for teenagers.
Fans Express Shock and Confusion
Fans of the show have taken to social media to voice their surprise and confusion. One fan mistook Avani for Nugget's mother, saying, "You're telling me it's his sister???" Another complained that Avani looks nothing like Nugget or their father and appears much older than her supposed brother.
The casting choice has also sparked humor among viewers, with one person jokingly asking, "Who does the casting here, guys?"
Avani's Arrival Amidst Family Drama
Avani is set to make her debut in Walford during a significant family conflict involving the Gulatis. Nugget had run away from home after discovering that his father, Ravi, was a murderer. Ravi eventually tracks Nugget down and is shocked to encounter not only his former girlfriend Priya but also the daughter he never knew existed.
Despite the controversy surrounding the actress's age, fans are eagerly anticipating Avani's arrival on the show.
