It is always the little things that matter the most- is her firm belief.
Inspiration and the Creative Flow
The genesis of “Fatal Love” wasn’t a deliberate endeavor to write a book; instead, it began with the joy of crafting excerpts. Mehta’s love for emotions, explored through her stories, led to the spontaneous creation of one-liners and dialogues exploring the nuances of unconditional love. The amalgamation of these elements formed the backbone of the book, emphasizing the exploration, experience, and sharing of emotions as the driving force behind the narrative.
Writing Process and Rituals
It’s time to interview Miss Tiara Swan- an orphan, new to the city of Vale, and a victim to a grave crime. Ever heard a victim plead not guilty for a criminal? No? Well, that’s what Tiara is doing for Jake. The entire city is shocked at this and can’t wait to unveil the truth. As Tiara joins forces with the Narcotics; with Derek- the only officer to truly understand her; she embarks her journey on a meticulously planned operation and yet no one accounted for love. Will she choose her heart over her allegiance or will her heart suffer? And if so, at what cost?
Distinct Characters: A Blend of Imagination and Reality
The characters in “Fatal Love” are a reflection of both imagination and reality. The protagonist, Tiara, embodies Mehta’s personality, while friends and mentors draw inspiration from her own circle.

The names and settings are a deliberate mix, creating a world that is uniquely open to interpretation.
Balancing Originality in Genre Expectations
For Mehta, the key to balancing originality with genre expectations lies in connecting with the emotions a character is feeling. Despite the fictional nature of the story, the emotional resonance creates authenticity.
