Aarav, the heir to a prestigious royal family, was destined for a life of duty. Shaurya, raised in the world of the Shekhawat mafia, was taught the values of loyalty, honor, and justice by his father, a close friend of Aarav's own. Their families shared a deep respect, with no rivalry between them-until time and distance pulled the friends apart. Now, years later, they meet again under unexpected circumstances-neither recognizing the other. Aarav returns to his palace for his sister Princess Aarohi's wedding, only to discover that she is marrying Shaurya. Shaurya has become a respected leader, fiercely loyal and honorable but ruthless to his enemies. He follows a strict code of justice, doing what's necessary to protect his family. When they meet at the wedding, neither man knows the true identity of the other. Aarav, no longer the carefree boy, faces the mafia don with a mix of nostalgia and confusion. Shaurya, with his strong yet principled demeanor, feels an unspoken connection, though he is bound by duty to his bride. As old memories and new emotions surface, both men are forced to confront the history between them, and the choices that now stand before them. Will their families' bond be enough to bridge the gap between their hearts? Or will the weight of their roles as prince and mafia don keep them apart?

Aarav Singh Chauhan, 35, wears his past in ink and silence. Once full of light, he now walks alone-learning to live, but never quite free of the shadow of Shaurya Shekhawat, the man he once called husband. Some bonds don't break. They echo.
