As Emmerdale fans know, Paige Sandhu will soon leave Emmerdale with many hoping her character evil Meena Jutla will meet justice. Over the last year, the villain has killed off many village favourites.
Paige, 25, has already confirmed she will soon leave Emmerdale. Rebecca Sarker, 47, plays Meena’s sister Manpreet and is sad to see her friend exit.

Talking to Inside Soap, Rebecca said: “I’ll miss her. I think the show will miss her too. But I can’t allow myself to feel sad because our relationship is much more than Emmerdale. Yes, we’ve had the good fortune to meet here but this is not where it ends.”
Discussing her impending Emmerdale exit, Paige said: “Meena’s story had to come to an end because if she carried on there’d be on one left in the village. I thought she’d have to die because it’s just the most epic thing but what they’ve come up with is better.”
Paige has discussed her time in Emmerdale and some of her highlights. She also said she’ll greatly miss co-star Rebecca and also cited last year’s Super Soap Week as one of her highlights from her time on the soap.
Paige explained: “Definitely survival week. I remember me and Rebecca went to watch the screening together and we were just clinging on to each other the whole time. We were so proud of ourselves and everyone else. All the other actors and crew. For me, that was probably the top one.”
