Despite being just 17-years-old, he quickly started a relationship with 28-year-old Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick).
The pair ended up having baby Johnny together, but Vanessa was originally adamant that Adam Barton was the father after the pair had a one night stand around the time she fell pregnant.
Vanessa had a DNA test done and Kirin's dad Rakesh - who was disapproving of their age gap - switched the results to try and keep Kirin away from her.
After he was told he wasn't the father, Kirin dumped Vanessa as he didn't believe he could be with her and father another man's child.

Kirin found it difficult to adapt to parenthood and turned to drink. After a heavy night, this is how he killed Tess Harris in a hit and run.
He left the country for South America and hasn’t been heard from for four years.
Is Kirin returning to Emmerdale?
