Vikram Desai was played by Chris Bisson. Vikram is Dev's cousin and he used to own the shop with Dev and worked with Sunita. During his time in Coronation Street he dated Leanne Battersby and Maria Sutherland. In 2002 he was forced to smuggle drugs in from abroad then again, but this time he asked Steve and Karen McDonald if they wanted a free holiday and they accepted. When they came back Steve discovered powder at the bottom of his suitcase and inside was drugs, and found out that Vikram had done it. Karen was horrified as well as Steve and he dumped the drugs in the canal and told Vikram to leave Weatherfield for good, and if he comes back Steve said he will kill him. He now lives in India.
Vikram was mentioned when Sunita's aunts came to stay in 2010, after Dev said that they were even worse than him.
