Unami na On Star Khanya Full Story, Plot Summary, Teasers & Cast: “Unami Na?”is a South African series on Star Khanya that blends romance and supernatural horror, following a movie star haunted by his deceased wife’s ghost. His late wife’s spirit works to uncover hidden evils and guide him toward a new soulmate. The plot involves Swaraj, the movie star, and his interactions with Krutika, who schemes to win him over, while others plot against him.
Swaraj Joshi, a renowned superstar, makes a comeback to the film industry after a three-year hiatus, burdened by a mysterious past. Dr. Vaibhavi longs to meet him and finds herself drawn into a web of enigmatic events. She delivers a cake to Anandwan on Swaraj’s birthday, an encounter that exposes her to a ghostly apparition marked with a symbol. Her encounter takes a terrifying turn as Kabir rescues her, leaving her haunted by the symbol etched on the ghost’s foot.
Abhay and Krutika plot against Swaraj. Sulakshana, determined to secure Swaraj’s wealth, promises Krutika marriage to him, as a clause in the will requires his wife’s signature. The vengeful ghost injures Sulakshana after she gives her word. Dr. Vaibhavi crosses paths with Swaraj at the market, unaware of his true identity. Swaraj reluctantly agrees to marry Krutika after the anniversary of Dr. Vaibhavi’s tragic demise.
Meanwhile, Swaraj reaches out to Dr. Vaibhavi to become Shashikant’s attending physician. During the Shradh Puja, Dr. Vaibhavi enters Anandvan. After tilting the Kalash meant for Vaibhavi at the doorstep, she senses a strange omen. Krutika’s attempts to oust Dr. Vaibhavi fail. Swaraj comes to Dr. Vaibhavi’s rescue when the ghost attacks her.
Dr. Vaibhavi offers medication for Shashikant’s panic attacks and shares her initial encounter with Swaraj with Shambhavi, who predicts her future based on the symbol she keeps seeing. Elsewhere, Swaraj recalls Vaibhavi’s memory of telling him the meaning of the symbol on her foot is Patience.
As the engagement ceremony approaches, Swaraj confides in Krutika. Dr. Vaibhavi interrupts the ceremony due to Shashikant’s panic attack. Subsequently, Swaraj requests Dr. Vaibhavi to become Shashikant’s permanent doctor.
