'EastEnders' actor Nitin Ganatra says the Masood family are to be affected by a "very upsetting" storyline.
The 47-year-old star - who plays Masood Masood on the BBC One soap - has confessed his on-screen family are set to face "something big" over the next few months, and then all the way up to Christmas.
He said: "We're building up to something big that will be on screen in a couple of months' time. It's the first time I've ever got weepy reading a script and it gives me goose pimples just talking about it.
"It's a very upsetting storyline. Really sad - but full of heart."
In recent episodes Masood has been beginning to track down his long-lost granddaughter, after finding out that his daughter Shabnam - who just got engaged to market trader Kush Kazemi - gave her baby up for adoption five years ago.
However, disaster is set to strike in the run-up to his daughter's wedding.
Nitin told Radio Times magazine: "It's going to be a fun build-up to the wedding. There are rumours of [Kush's mum] Carmel and Masood getting it on and there's a lot of comedy. And then we're going to pull the rug out from under you.
"The aftermath of this will run all the way up to Christmas and I'm really excited at the thought of flexing my acting muscles."
Nitin added that he doesn't think Masood's estranged wife Zainab and son Syed will be returning for Shabnam's nuptials.
He said: "There are no plans to bring Zainab back. And I know that Syed isn't returning. But it's going to be a quiet occasion, the opposite to Syed and Amira's wedding.
"So it doesn't look like there'll be a family reunion, but who knows? Things change at the last minute in this place."

Fern Britton has claimed her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Artem Chigvintsev kicked and shoved her during training.
The former 'This Morning' presenter has revealed the 32-year-old hunk lashed out at her after becoming frustrated with her during rehearsals for the BBC celebrity dance contest.
She shared: "He would look at my feet and just kick me or shove me."
The 57-year-old star also claimed he would yell at her to shut up and order her to leave.
She added: "He was like, 'Shut your face. Go home before I kill you'."
However, Fern admits she didn't take his threat to kill her too seriously and instead joked that she wanted to be put out of her misery.
Speaking at an event hosted by The Times newspaper: "I would say, 'Oh please just kill me, it would be easier'. Or what was the other one? 'If you go for a cup of tea now, I will blow off like an atomic bomb'. I thought, well I won't correct him on that one."
Fern and Artem came in tenth place on the 2012 series of the show before the professional dancer - who previously dated his 2010 'Strictly' partner Kara Tointon - quit the show in 2014 in favour of the US version, 'Dancing with the Stars'.

Bonnie Langford doesn't want to be called "Granny".
The 50-year-old actress has revealed she's not looking forward to being referred to as a grandma after joining BBC One soap 'EastEnders' as Kush Kazemi's mother Carmel.
She said: "Carmel quite likes the idea of family and children but I don't like the idea of being called Granny.
"No, no, no, let's not go there!"
Bonnie added: "Carmel's going to be quite groovy. She'd like to be a groovy granny and called something else instead I hope."
The brunette beauty - whose own daughter Bianca is only 14 years old - made her debut on the popular drama last month and her character Carmel inadvertently advised Kush's fiancee Shabnam's father Masood to go looking for his granddaughter, who Shabnam gave up for adoption.
And Bonnie says Carmel is worried Kush's fiancee is too reserved and secretive for him.
She told The Sun newspaper: "She wants Kush to be happy so she's delighted he's found somebody because she feels very much that he's burdened with grief [from the death of his wife].
"And if Shabnam has made him happy and brought out this openness then she's happy.
"But I think she's concerned that Shabnam is strict, reserved and secretive and she wants Kush to have fun.
"She is worried he's connected with somebody whose life isn't as joyous as she would like."

Joe Swash wants to reprise his role on 'EastEnders'.
The 33-year-old actor - who played Mickey Miller in the series from 2003 to 2008 and briefly returned for two episodes in 2011 - has confessed he would love to make a comeback on the BBC soap.
Despite his character not having appeared in Albert Square for nearly four years, Joe believes anything is possible following Gillian Taylforth's shock return to the series as Kathy Beale - who was thought to have died in 2006 - as part of show's 30th anniversary celebrations earlier this year.
Joe said: "I've a really good relationship with 'EastEnders'.
"I am up there quite a lot. I will definitely go back one day.
"I loved playing Mickey Miller and if Kathy Beale can come back from the dead, that always gives us other actors hope."
However, the 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Now!' presenter accepts he may never be asked to return to the show.
He told The Sun newspaper: "Sometimes characters run out of storylines and they like to move you on."

Vicky Pattison is "so nervous" about her new show.
The former 'Geordie Shore' star is "excited" about 'Judge Geordie' - in which she helps solve people's problems - but is feeling apprehensive about having a programme of her own.
She said: "I have a mixture of nausea, nerves, excitement and apprehension.
"I'm excited and over the moon, but I'm so nervous because this is the first time I'm not part of a huge ensemble cast. There's no hiding in this.
"It's all on me. I'm nervous about carrying the show, but once people watch it, they'll understand it's more than just me.
"It's about stories and relationships. The concept is bigger and better than I am."
The 27-year-old star admits she can be "irrational" but was determined to get to the bottom of every situation on the show.
She told Closer magazine: "Some of the situations are so wacky and off the wall that I don't even know how to judge them initially.
"When we get the first cry for help, I do jump to conclusions but there are different sides to every story.
"I'm a very judgemental, emotional, irrational judge, but I want to solve the problem. I'm like a dog with a bone."
'Judge Geordie' is on Wednesdays at 9pm on MTV.

Olly Murs thinks Nick Grimshaw is a "strange" choice for 'The X Factor' judging panel.
The 'Troublemaker' hitmaker - who will co-host the new series of the talent contest with Caroline Flack - now thinks the DJ would be a great addition to the programme, but was initially apprehensive.
He said: "When I heard Grimmy's name, I thought, 'Oh this is strange...' Grimmy is already in the public eye and he's involved in music, so if he does get the job it would be a great move.
"People forget that when Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell first did the show, people didn't really know who they were."
So far, only Simon Cowell is confirmed to be a judge on the next series, and Olly has been trying to "convince" his pal Robbie Williams to take part, though he thinks that is unlikely to happen.
He said: "I was trying to convince Robbie that he should do it, but that's probably not going to happen."
Olly - who shot to fame when he came second on the show in 2009 - adored his previous stint co-hosting spin-off show 'The Xtra Factor' with Caroline and has promised they won't be taking the main show too seriously.
He told Star magazine: "Doing 'Xtra Factor' for two years was one of the best things I've ever done in my life - I enjoyed every single minute of it. For 'X Factor', we don't want to be too serious though. We want it to be tongue-in-cheek and a bit of a giggle."

Magician DMC hopes Simon Cowell decides to make a magic show now Jamie Raven has made him a fan on 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The 'Beyond Magic with DMC' star was thrilled to see Jamie finish as runner-up on the ITV talent show on Sunday night (31.05.15) after wowing Simon and the other judges with his sleight of hand.
He now hopes the entertainment mogul will give his backing to magic and create a TV series based around the art form.
When asked if new fan Cowell can give magicians a boost, DMC told BANG Showbiz: "For sure, that's in no doubt. He's virtually an industry himself so to give it his support would be a big deal. I think a lot of people perhaps wouldn't think about watching or exploring magic but I think we're riding a very happy wave of very talented magicians right now. There was a very quiet period but it seems there's really a sort of renaissance now. It's a good time, a good chapter."
DMC - real name Drummond Money-Coutts - is friends with Jamie and was thrilled to see him do so well on 'BGT', because he insists he deserves a chance to shine.
He said: "I love Jamie. I've worked with Jamie in the past and we had lunch a few weeks ago, he's a great magician. I think when magic is done well and magic is done right and there's a level of skill to it and it's not camera trickery I think it's wonderful. I think any good, skilled magic is only ever a good thing."
DMC, 29, also scoffed at the people who took to social media and YouTube to point out how Jamie did his trick in the final, which involved him cutting open a whole lemon to reveal a bank note that judge Alesha Dixon had signed inside the fruit.
He said: "I know people find a chink in the armour but it doesn't explain that much of the trick, you know? People have this idea that if they can work out five percent of a trick then they've cracked the whole thing but there's so much more to it and by the sounds of what Jamie did he did so much more than just that ... Jamie did a great trick and that's what is important."
DMC was speaking to BANG Showbiz in conjunction with Virgin Atlantic, who he partnered with to give lucky members of the public in London tickets for flight to the 200-plus cities the airline now travels to thanks to the company's partnership with Delta Air Lines.

Gregg Wallace "absolutely hated" 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The MasterChef judge was the first celebrity to be voted off the BBC dance contest last year and has now revealed the stress of trying to impress the judges saw him break out in cold sores.
He said: "No. No. No. I didn't enjoy it in any way, shape or form. Well, apart from the last day on the final.
"I really enjoyed dancing on the final and I enjoyed the practising and the physical side of it, I liked that, but performing something that I wasn't good at? No, I hated it. Absolutely hated it."
The 50-year-old star opened up about how his experience on the show left him emotionally drained.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Yeah, possibly I did. But I was very relieved to have gone.
"I was so bad my face broke out in cold sores, that's how stressed I was! It was incredible, I'd never experienced anything like it. I was in tears on the second week."
Gregg also confessed he didn't feel like the money he received for taking part was worth the anxiety he suffered.
He added: "It just opened up a dark side of my personality that I didn't know existed.
"And what it was is that if there's anything that I'm not good at, I work really hard at it to make sure I am, that's what I am like.
"And on 'Strictly' I didn't have time to be good and it freaked me out so I was worse than average because I just got myself worked up and it led to a panic because I knew I wasn't going to be very good."

Mastodon rocker Bill Kelliher fell asleep while filming his cameo for 'Game of Thrones'.
The guitarist has revealed he was so exhausted that he dozed off after being told to "play dead" when he and his bandmates Brent Hinds, Troy Sanders, Brann Dailor and Eric Saner filmed their guest slot for the HBO medieval fantasy drama.
He said: "There was a lot of playing dead which contrary to popular belief is not that easy to do. I actually fell asleep, laying down on the ground with my battle axe by the water because I was so jet-lagged."
Bill spoke about how he and his metal band ended up getting involved with the much-loved show after they met members of the cast and crew at the music festival Sonisphere last year.
He told British Metal Hammer magazine: "It just so happened that we were starting a tour and they were shooting a scene in Belfast the day before. So the stars aligned and we were able to fly in a day early, quickly get there and jump into a scene."
The 'Once More 'Round The Sun' hitmakers also claimed many of the smaller actors on 'GoT' - which stars Kit Harrington, Emilia Clarke and Maisie Williams - were big fans of theirs.
Bill added: "All the extras on the the show look like our crowd, our target audience - big hairy dudes with giant beards and tattoos. Every single one of them came over and said, 'Hey, how are you doing? We love your band'. It was amazing."
