Asif Malik was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Ashvin Luximon from 1999 to 2003.
[edit] History
Asif was a school friend of Martin Fowler and together they would get into lots of trouble such as shoplifting and vandalism, but almost always when Martin would be caught, Asif would leave him behind to explain himself to his mother Pauline. His own family was never seen on-screen but were mentioned occasionally.
He rarely had storylines which centered only on him and all his storylines were linked with Martin or with his fellow schoolmates Nicky di Marco and Janine Butcher. He went on a few dates with Nicky but it didn't turn into anything serious. He also had a crush on Janine which was not reciprocated.
In 2001 he and Martin went on a holiday in the West End. They went out to a strip club where Asif tried to chat up a waitress named Kirsty. The next day he met up with her again and they started talking, leading to them having a one-night stand. The next day Asif went to the strip club when Kirsty worked and asked her to give up her job. Kirsty told him to go away and said he meant nothing to her other than a one-night stand. Later the same day he walked into a room to see her with a man and realised she was a prostitute.
He was last seen in October 2003 when he passed his A-levels and went to University. He has not appeared since.
