Charismatic and compassionate, young power couple Nidhika and Pershant Mehta have carved a niche for themselves in the hearts of those on the receiving end of their beneficence. Their generosity has had far-reaching and positive consequences in improving the lives of children and the less fortunate locally and globally. The Mehtas will be celebrated at the UNICEF World Ball at the Hilton Americas as the 2012 recipients of the prestigious The Spirit of Compassion Award on March 31, 2012.
