"With Arshad and Mariam at the helm and with the arrival of the feisty sister Iqra and Habiba, I can now venture off to new horizons as an actor.
"I am still deeply attached to Masood and have invested much emotion into making this character memorable," Nitin continued.
"I am in awe of how loved he is by audiences and fans of all ages, from all cultures and religions and walks of life. Thank you. I am humbled by the love.
"I will of course miss EastEnders and the wonderful people that work tirelessly to bring audiences dramatic, funny and compelling stories."
Nitin also revealed that a return in the future is possible.
