Jaffrey's character, Ravi Desai, has been 'rested indefinitely,' a spokeswoman at Granada said. That unexpected, and as it now seems, endless rest came last week for the 61-year-old owner of a string of shops in fictional Weatherfield who would have 'a spring in his step and a twinkle in his eye.' His was the first Indian family to have moved into Coronation Street. Last week Jaffrey arrived at the studios of Granada TV only to be told that there will be no more of Ravi Desai.
