TV reality shows are often not real.

<a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k7/dec/31dec/news_narayani.php>Amita Chandekar's</a> latest 'status message' on a social networking site says 'countdown begins'. Well, before you come to any conclusion she's not talking about her new show but about her impending marriage. Confirming the news our source says, "The actress is getting married to Ritesh Tiwari who she has been dating for some time now, He is a NRI. The marriage will take place on February 24 in the western suburbs of Mumbai."

It's her birthday today, but Amita Chandekar isn't getting into celebratory mood straightaway as she's got business to talk. The leggy lass, who's been out of action from her show <em> Kasturi,</em> will decide on her future in the show today. Amita says, "I've returned to the country yesterday. It's my birthday today but before that I need to decide on my future in <em> Kasturi</em>. My character (Pooja) was not being given much importance and I wasn't asked to report regularly for the shoots. As a result, I asked for a much needed break and so I headed to California."

Amita Chandekar is smiling a lot these days! On one hand, she plays an investigative cop Ashwini in Sony's <em>CID Special Bureau</em> and on the other, she plays this very glamorous actress in Balaji's, <em>Kasamh Se</em> which will air bon Zee from 16 January. "I am enjoying both my characters to the hilt. I have really worked hard for all this and it feels nice now that my work is getting appreciated. I have received a good response for CID Special Bureau and I can hardly wait now for <em>Kasamh Se</em> to come on air," smiles Amita.
