The following is a list of minor characters that first appeared in the
ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 2006, by order of first
appearance.Aadi Alahan, who first appears on 13 January 2006, is
created with his twin sister Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) as the
newborn children of Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati) and Dev Alahan
(Jimmi Harkishin). Aadi and Asha are originally portrayed by triplets
Hannah, Harris and Ria Ahmed. The characters were written out
following Gulati's decision to leave the soap and depart in February
2006. The character, along with Sunita and Asha, was reintroduced in
2009 with the role recast to Zennon Ditchett. Ditchett opted to leave
the show in 2019 to focus on his schooling, so the role was recast to
Adam Hussain, who first appears on 15 April 2020. Aadi features in a
new story following his recast as Asha becomes the victim to a sexting
scandal. Hussain expressed his excitement at joining the soap and
wanted to develop his "own twist" on the character. Hussain and Gorey
were friends prior to his casting, which he thought assisted the
portrayal of the twins' relationship. Gary Gillatt of Inside Soap
praised Hussain's casting, commenting, "The new Aadi Alahan is really
well cast. He has the same cocky swagger as his dad."Aadi returns with
Sunita and Asha in December 2009 and when Sunita reunites with Dev in
March 2010, they move into Dev's flat. Aadi and Asha think that it
would be funny if Aadi goes onto the balcony of 6 Victoria Court.
Sunita tries to get him inside but the door jams. Dev tries and breaks
the door handle. After many attempts to open the balcony door, they
fail but Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) is riding by and rescues Aadi
just as Sunita is going to call 999.
