Amber Kalirai

Amber Kalirai is the long lost daughter of Dev Alahan, and is played by Nikki Patel.

She first arrived on 9th November 2005, when her mum Ravinder was taken into hospital and she was looked after by Sunita and her dad Dev on the Street. Amber started helping out in the Corner Shop but her incessant chat wound up Dev. Initially Dev did not want Amber in his life as he was married to Sunita Parekh at the time and she served as a reminder of his philandering ways. However, he warmed to her and she came to live with him after her mother Ravinder moved to Finland with her partner. She had a crush on fellow neighbour David Platt but he was initially unaware of her feelings. When he did confront her, she denied it. In early 2008, Amber began working at Valandros restaurant with Leanne, Paul Clayton and Luigi until it was set alight by Paul. Dev then claimed that he did not want her any where near Paul.

Amber has had an infatuation from David after he has been trying to make his ex girlfriend Tina jealous, first by letting Amber use one of his gig ticket which Tina had refused. On 27th August 2008 David invited Amber around to his house for lunch in a deliberate attempt to annoy Tina. Amber, unaware that she was being used, kissed a less than enthusiastic David. Unable to contain her anger any longer, Tina stormed around to the house demanding to know why David was playing these games, this interruption left Amber humiliated.
