Big Shocking News: Emmerdale Star’s 25-Year-Old Role Has Fans Floored – ‘She Looks UNCHANGED!’

Emmerdale fans were left stunned after discovering actress Rebecca Sarker, who plays Manpreet Sharma, had a role in Coronation Street over 25 years ago. Viewers couldn’t believe how little she has changed since her days on the rival ITV soap.

Rebecca, who joined Emmerdale in 2018 as the village doctor, has become a fan favorite. Over the years, she’s been involved in major storylines, including complex romances and dramatic family secrets, especially as the sister of serial killer Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu). Currently, Manpreet is caught up in a mystery involving blackmail, leaving fans eager to see how her story unfolds.

Before stepping into the world of Emmerdale, Rebecca had roles in EastEnders, Doctors, Holby City, and even a comedic part in 2012. However, her most talked-about past role was in Coronation Street, where she played Nita Desai from 1999 to 2000. Her character managed the corner shop and even had a romance with Steve McDonald.

Adding to the surprise, Rebecca’s on-screen brother in Corrie was played by Chris Bisson, who now portrays Jai Sharma in Emmerdale. Chris’s character, Vikram Desai, was a major player in Coronation Street, forming a close bond with Steve McDonald and struggling with addiction before leaving in 2002.

Fans were shocked to learn about their past connection, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief. “I had no idea they played siblings in Corrie—mind blown!” one fan wrote. Another commented, “She hasn’t aged a day! She looks exactly the same.”

With this surprising revelation, Emmerdale fans are now looking at Rebecca Sarker’s role as Manpreet in a whole new light!
