Recently, the British actor has played the role of Dr Samir Hasan in the new season of ITV1’s The Good Karma Hospital.

Opening up about his character, Harki told Express that he plays a ‘high-flying surgeon’.

He said: “He’s come over from England and I think he’s a bit of a high-flying surgeon and he’s a bit of a cheeky-chappy and got quite a bit of charisma about him.

“Throughout the whole arrival of him, you are kind of figuring out why he has made the decision to come across.

“There’s a coolness about him being like ‘I just fancied a change of scenery’ and the question I suppose, is there something underneath it all? Why has he actually taken this break away from doing the standard surgeon job back in England?”
