Africa meets India
Mehek is the eponymous story of a young girl from Delhi, India whose love for cooking is closely tied to her mother’s memories and Shaurya (Karan Vohra), a rich and arrogant, restaurateur. Their paths cross leading to an unlikely relationship but all is not what it seems.
Meanwhile Eddie Gabela (played by Ndaba ka Ngwane), a successful businessman from Africa moves to Delhi with his wife Leleti (played by Nomava Kibare), daughter Norah (played by Shonisani Masutha) and son Dennis (played by Kamogelo Mogale). Dennis has been implicated in a serious crime and whilst the family knows he’s innocent they are helpless to save him from these false accusations and decide to leave Africa for his safety.
Norah’s love life however takes an interesting turn when she meets and falls in love with Karan in India. Their relationship is a colourful imbalance of love and betrayal as the couple forges a life together in India.
Follow the story of this ground-breaking Africa meets India story line and experiences of Norah and Karan from vastly different backgrounds brought together by love.
