Payal – fondly known as Pi – is a super sophisticated Business Development Manager. Everything in her life is pretty much sorted. The only missing element is a man of honour who can join her on her quest to scale ever-greater heights. In Pi’s case this will be no easy task. The confident, goal-driven beauty reached the summit of Kilimanjaro in July 2019. Animal lover Marc will be doubly impressed by the fact that she completed this taxing challenge to raise funds for the Sandton branch of the SPCA. If she and Marc were to hit it off, Marc’s adorable crossbreed canine companion, Luna, a rescue, will have to share a couch with Pi’s pooches, Bella and Freddie. Pi revels in an active lifestyle and loves to travel. A trip to Italy, France, Slovenia, and Switzerland counts among Pi’s stand-out life experiences. She has provincial colours in judo, baseball, and volleyball and has already ticked sky diving, shark diving, and swimming with dolphins off her bucket list.
