Aadi Alahan is one of the twins born to Sunita and Dev Alahan on 13 January 2006. He leaves with his mother and sister Asha soon after he is born. In December 2009, Aadi returns to the Street with Sunita and Asha.
Aadi moves into his father's flat in March 2010, after his parents reconcile. Aadi and Asha think that it would be funny if Aadi goes out onto the balcony of Flat 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 is riding by and rescues Aadi just as Sunita is going to call 999.
In August 2010, Aadi is pushed by Simon Barlow and bangs his head, as they play a game, while Sophie Webster is babysitting and Sian Powers. He is later rushed to hospital, when he loses consciousness as a result of the injury. When the doctors find another bruise on Aadi (as a result of Dev pulling him off the road when a car nearly ran him over some days before), social services are contacted. Immediately they suspect Dev and Sunita of child abuse and Aadi, along with Asha, is taken into temporary care. Dev and Sunita's names are later cleared of any wrongdoing when Simon admits that he hurt Aadi.
Around September 2011, it becomes clear to Dev that Aadi is a talented golfer. He persuades Sunita to allow him to nurture their son's talent although Sunita is unsure as Dev's golf is already becoming very expensive. Sunita finally agrees on the condition that, if Dev is happy to spend money on Aadi and his golf, he needs to be willing to splurge an equal amount on Asha.
