Asha Alahan is about to face one of her biggest challenges yet in Coronation Street. After months of family drama, her world is turned upside down, and what happens next will leave her shaken in ways she never expected.
Aadi’s Troubles Reach Breaking Point
Aadi Alahan has been at the centre of drama for months. His downfall began with the disastrous party that ended in Lauren Bolton’s terrifying ordeal. From there, things only got worse when he left the family business with a £12,000 debt.
Trying to escape the mess, Aadi staged a fake burglary to claim on the insurance. But the plan failed badly, and his secret was soon exposed. When the truth came out, he confessed everything to Lauren and his dad Dev, leading to his arrest. With his mistakes piling up, Aadi struggled to see a way forward.
Aadi Walks Away
Faced with the damage he had caused, Aadi decided the only answer was to leave Weatherfield and start afresh in India. While he saw this as his chance to rebuild, his decision crushed the person closest to him. Tanisha Gorey explained that her character, Asha, feels absolutely distraught by her brother’s departure. She said the twins aren’t just siblings but also best friends, and Asha is terrified to be without him.
Tanisha added that Aadi has always been her biggest support and the one person she truly trusts, which makes his absence even harder. When asked who Asha might turn to for comfort, Tanisha admitted it’s difficult to say. She suggested Nina could be a possibility, as the two remain good friends despite their past relationship, but she also noted that Asha may choose to keep everything bottled up. According to Tanisha, Asha feels so alone that she won’t want to admit it to anyone.
Coronation Street: Asha’s Story Takes Centre Stage
Aadi’s exit sets up a powerful new storyline for Asha, who will soon be shown battling her mental health. She takes the spotlight in a special episode that reveals her suffering a panic attack. There’s also a flashback showing what led up to the moment. Tanisha said Asha is spiralling without even realising how bad things have become. She explained that because Asha refuses to talk about her struggles, she won’t get the help she desperately needs.
On being trusted with such an important storyline, Tanisha admitted it carries a huge responsibility. She said she hopes it feels real and added that if it helps even one person, then the story has served its purpose. Aadi’s departure leaves a gap in the Alahan family, but it also opens the door to explore Asha’s struggles more deeply. Fans will now see how she copes without her closest support and what this means for her future.
Now, Coronation Street will shine a spotlight on Asha’s isolation and resilience, promising some of the most affecting moments on the cobbles. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
