Sair Khan, best known for her role as Alya Nazir on Coronation Street, has revealed her much-anticipated return to the iconic cobbles following the birth of her first child. The 36-year-old actress shared the exciting news on her Instagram Story, posting a picture of her script as she prepares to step back into her character for the first time since welcoming her baby boy in April.
Sair captioned the post, “I am Backstreet,” confirming her comeback after her maternity leave. Her character, Alya, left Weatherfield to pursue a job opportunity in Dublin, leaving fans curious about her future, especially after getting close to her boss, Adam Barlow (played by Sam Robertson).
Since her son’s arrival, Sair has been navigating the early stages of parenthood, balancing sleepless nights, breastfeeding, and recovery. She humorously remarked on the experience, saying: “Anyone else ever felt like there’s a DJ beat coming from your breast pump at 3am or is that what delirium is?!
Sair first announced her pregnancy in December and has since kept her fans updated on her journey into motherhood. Now, with her return to Coronation Street on the horizon, fans are eager to see what’s next for Alya Nazir as she steps back into Weatherfield life.
