EastEnders Shakil actor Shaheen Jafargholi unrecognisable four years after emotional exit

Former Eastenders star Shaheen Jafarghol looks completely different now as he sports a short blonde buzzcut.

The actor played the role of Shakil Kazemi from 2016 to 2018, who is the younger brother of Davood Ghadami’s Kush Kazemi.

After leaving the show a few years back through an explosive knife-crime story, Shaheen has worked as nurse Marty Kirkby on both Casualty and Holby City, which are both set in the same hospital.

Last month, the 25 year old actor shared a snap on Instagram showcasing his style for a holiday to sunny Ibiza.

Shaheen was dressed in a form-fitting graphic tee which he paired with blue jeans, Calvin Klein’s, black sunglasses and a black bag with a chunky silver chain.


“Magnificus x3,” the star wrote to his 119k followers.

Sharing the love in the comments, one fan wrote, “Stunning”, while another asked, “Marry me?"

In another September post, Shaheen is seen lounging on a rock in an all-black ensemble, looking away from the camera.

Beneath the post, someone wrote: "Prettiest person ever."

"You’re looking very nice in this Photo @shaheenjafa!!!" someone else added.

Other snaps from his holiday include a gorgeous pic of the sunset, a rather delicious-looking meal and a dinner selfie with Amy-Leigh Hickman, who you might remember played Carmen Howle from Tracey Beaker Returns.

Amy-Leigh has also just signed on for Netflix's fourth season of YOU, starring former Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley.

Shaheen's EastEnders character was killed off as part of a high-profile knife-crime storyline produced in partnership with Brooke Kinsella MBE.

Brooke, who played Kelly Taylor on the popular soap, has been a vocal voice against knife crime after her brother Ben was stabbed to death in 2008.

Shaheen’s character and best pal Keegan Baker, played by Zack Morris, stole a bike from a gang that subsequently stabbed them in an alleyway.

While Keegan was found by Danny Dyer’s Mick Carter, Shakil was found by Kathy Beale (Gillian Tayflorth) and Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra).

He was rushed to hospital but sadly succumbed to his injuries after losing too much blood.


Before joining Eastenders, Shaheen got his big break on the third series of Britain’s Got Talent, where he performed for Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan.

He eventually finished in sixth place and went on to sing Who’s Lovin’ You at the funeral and memorial service for Michael Jackson.
