Asha Alahan is one of the twins born to Sunita and Dev Alahan on 13 January 2006. She leaves with her mother and brother Aadi Alahan soon after she is born. Asha returns to the Street in December 2009 with Sunita and Aadi. Upon Asha's return, Sunita thinks that she may have measles, after having spots and a temperature. Sunita's doctor from 2004, Dr Patel, from Rosamund Street Medical Centre visits her home and, much to the relief of a worried Dev and Sunita, she is not suffering from measles, just a virus.
In September 2010, Asha is taken into temporary care, along with her brother, when social services believe that Dev and Sunita may be abusing Aadi. She is soon returned to her parents when it becomes clear that Dev and Sunita are innocent.
In late July 2012 Dev and Sunita separate after Sunita has an affair with Karl Munro (John Michie) and chooses to be with him. Asha and her brother meet Karl and he promises both Asha and Aadi that he won't get in the way of seeing their father. The children later see Dev attacking Karl when Dev confronts Sunita and Karl.
