Yahoo News Emmerdale's Paige Sandhu reunites with co-stars after Meena exit
Emmerdale's former star Paige Sandhu has reunited with her on-screen sister Rebecca Sarker during a recent night out.
Sarker, who's still in the cast of the ITV soap as Manpreet Sharma, posted a picture on her Instagram page as she was enjoying dinner with Sandhu and Emmerdale's Fiona Wade.
Both Sandhu, who gave an award-winning performance as serial killer Meena Jutla, and Wade, who played Priya Kotecha for 11 years, have now left the series.

The trio were all smiles as they were having an Italian dinner, topped off with a choice of tiramisu for dessert.
"The perfect 'pick-me-up,'" Sarker captioned the snaps with a nod to the pudding's literal translation.
Co-stars and fans were glad to see the three together again, with Vanessa Woodfield star Michelle Hardwick, who also recently left Emmerdale, writing: "Gorgeous photo."

Unfortunately, the co-stars' reunion doesn't seem to be connected to a potential return for either Meena or Priya.
Jutla left the soap last April when her villainous Meena was given a life sentence. Despite fans calling for a comeback, the actress ruled out a potential appearance further down the line.
"No, it's not a possibility and it won't be a possibility. I've loved playing her and I've loved working at Emmerdale, but I feel like the story came to an end," Jutla told Digital Spy at the Inside Soap Awards 2022. "I mean, we did do everything, didn't we? We went for it! I feel like to come back would be over-egging the story."
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
