Later, Asha records her brother a voice note, expressing how much she will miss him. She admits she will struggle in his absence and ultimately begs him not to go. After the stress and upset of her recent shift, Asha breaks down in tears. But will she send the message?
“She’s absolutely distraught about Aadi leaving, they aren’t just twins but they are also best friends – although they have a love/hate relationship,” explained Tanisha Gorey, who plays Asha. “He supports her so much and is the only person who she can really trust, so I think knowing that he is leaving is making her feel even more isolated.”
Gorey suggested Asha might turn to her ex-girlfriend Nina Lucas for support, as the pair are still “really good friends”. She added: “But I don’t think Asha will want to talk about this to anyone because she feels so alone and doesn’t want to admit that to anyone.”
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
