But he also annoys Stacey Slater upon his arrival
Actor Aaron Thiara has been cast by soap bosses as the new hunk set to stir up some trouble in Walford.
The character was first seen in prison asking Phil Mitchell some information about Kheerat (played by Jaz Deol) in exchange for a burner phone.
While Phil was ready to rely on him for some protection against Craig, Ravi was surprisingly let go and is getting familiar with the outside world again.
Coming up, next week, Ravi makes his entrance in the Square and bumps into Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).

Ravi immediately ruffles her feathers as he flirts with her, unaware she’s actually romantically linked to Kheerat.
Meanwhile, Phil (Steve McFadden) is chatting with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and gets an idea after spotting Ravi – what plan does he have in mind and could it have a link with Ben’s rape?
Over at the Panesar home, tensions are running high as Kheerat prepares a cold revenge for his mother Suki (Balvinder Sopal).
The ruthless businesswoman recently revealed she played a part in her son Jags’ death and her children are hellbent on making her pay.
Next week, Suki prepares for a business pitch for Ranveer but tensions continue to flare up when he questions why Kheerat is pitching against her.
Suki covers, making it seem like all is well and Kheerat is simply trying to be independent.
However, everyone is rattled when Ravi arrives.
The newcomer goes a step further by pushing Kheerat’s buttons and questioning his loyalty to his mum.
How will Kheerat react?
As mentioned above, the businessman is fuming with Suki after she confessed she framed Jags for Martin Fowler’s assault and robbery at Ruby’s.
Suki didn’t approve of Jags’ relationship with Habiba Ahmed due to their religious differences and tried to get her son away from her.
She still became a grandmother when the young woman gave birth to a baby boy.
Kheerat is ready to push Suki out of the family and even has plans of moving out of no.31 altogether with his siblings.
Could Ravi turn everything on its head for Kheerat?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday on BBC One.
