Corrie star now working 'normal job' after soap exit amid financial woes
The actor, who has played Aadi Alahan for five years, is lending a hand at his family's tailoring business in Sale, Manchester. Adam, 24, revealed last month that he has decided to leave the cobbles to focus on "new pastures" after joining the show in 2020.
The beloved soap star has since given fans a glimpse into his real life as he shared news of his everyday job on Instagram, posting a photo featuring several sewing machines and items awaiting alteration.
Alongside the post, he wrote: "Helping out at the family business." He also geotagged Stitch In Time tailors, promoting the family venture. Adam's unexpected new role coincides with his upcoming farewell from the series after over half a decade.
His exit comes amidst the show's reported financial woes and a wave of departures, with seven prominent cast members having already exited.
In a heartfelt Instagram post last month, Hussain confirmed his exit from the popular soap, writing: "I guess the secrets out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures."
He added: "Over the five years I've spent there I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little." (sic)
The actor reassured fans this wasn't a permanent goodbye, stating: "This isn't a farewell for Aadi however, more like a see you later!"
He finished: "I'm excited to see what the future brings! Thank you @coronationstreet @itv for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time!"
Hussain first appeared on Coronation Street in April 2020, taking over the role of Aadi from original actor Zennon Ditchett, who left to focus on his studies. His character Aadi is the son of shopkeeper Dev Alahan, played by Jimmi Harkishin, and the twin brother of Asha, portrayed by Tanisha Gorey.
Sources say that while leaving the soap was a big decision, Hussain is feeling confident and excited about his future. He's had loads of new opportunities coming his way so he already feels like he's made the right decision.
Adam recently reposted a picture of himself on set with a group of fellow actors, including Hollyoaks star Kirsty-Leigh Porter, who portrays Leela Dexter on the E4 soap.
The duo are featuring in a new film called Spice for Life, with Adam taking on the role of Sully. Alongside the photo, Adam penned: "Was great working with these lot".
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on Virgin Media in Ireland.
