Aadi Alahan is the son of Dev and Sunita Alahan, and twin brother of Asha.
Born in 2006, the twins were raised in Bramhall before moving to Coronation Street when their divorced parents reconciled. They were closer to their mother, and were deeply affected by Sunita's tragic death in 2013. Dev then raised Aadi and Asha as a single father, with Mary Taylor acting as their nanny.
In his teenage years, Aadi dated his first girlfriend, Summer Spellman, survived a car explosion along with his father and sister, and was shot while protecting fiancée Kelly Neelan. He and Kelly had planned to elope, but Kelly instead left Weatherfield to escape her past. A frequent source of friction between Aadi and Dev has been Dev's supposed favouring of Asha over him. In 2023, he went to work for entrepreneur Darren Vance, and had a formative sexual experience with his wife Courtney. When their affair was exposed, Darren cut both of them off. Aadi was heartbroken when Courtney eventually returned to Darren.
Aadi is now back at the family home of 7 Coronation Street and working at the corner shop.
Biography
 |
Aadi was born on 13th January 2006, just before his twin sister Asha. In March 2006, Sunita still hadn't got back together with his father and decided to leave the Street with the twins.
In late 2009, the twins returned when Sunita resumed her relationship with Dev. They moved into his Dev's flat in March 2010, after his mother and father reconciled. Aadi and Asha thought it was funny if Aadi went out onto the balcony of 9 Victoria Court, however, when Sunita tried to get him in she couldn't and Dev broke the handle when he tried to open the closed balcony door. After many attempts they failed, though Graeme Proctor was riding by and came to the rescue just as Sunita was going to call 999.
In April 2013, the twins lost their mother when Sunita died from her injuries following a fire in the Rovers Return Inn - the fire being started by her ex-boyfriend Karl Munro, who also turned off her life support machine in Weatherfield General.
Following a video of Asha undressing for her crush, Corey Brent, being spread around the pupils of Weatherfield High by Kelly Neelan, Dev was dissatisfied by headteacher Mr Griffin's response, and enrolled Aadi and Asha into Oakhill School.
