India: A Love Story, Brand New Brazilian Drama Launches On eExtra

eExtra, a South African based channel operated by eMedia Investments that offers dubbed telenovelas from Turkey and around the world has announced the rollout of India: A Love Story. The Brazilian Drama replaces Kuma: The Other Wife in April.

Synopsis for India: A Love Story 

Maya, a modern woman working at a call centre, falls deeply in love with Bahuan. Her world is shattered when she learns Bahuan is a Dalit (an "untouchable"), making a relationship between them a social taboo.

Raj is an executive who fell in love with Duda, a Brazilian woman, while working abroad. His traditional family, led by his strict father Opash, refuses to allow him to marry a foreigner. 

Under intense family pressure, Maya and Raj are forced to abandon their "impossible" loves and enter into an arranged marriage with each other. Maya enters the marriage with a massive secret: she is pregnant with Bahuan's child.

Known in Brazil as Caminho das Índias, it was broadcast on 19 January 2009 and concluded on 11 September 2009 after 160 episodes internationally.

It starred Juliana Paes as Maya Meetha, Rodrigo Lombardi as Raj Ananda, Letícia Sabatella as Yvone Oliveira Magalhães, Tony Ramos as Opash Ananda, Alexandre Borges as Raul Cadore and Débora Bloch as Sílvia Cadore.

Prior to its rollout on eExtra, India: A Love Story was initially slated to rollout on the now defunct eBella channel before getting pulled off from the lineup. The drama was also broadcast on M-Net's Mzansi Magic alongside the former Caribbean Love.

India: A Love Story will broadcast weekdays at 23:00 from 21 April.
