In the shadows of an ancient prophecy, Prakriti Punwar was born under a whisper of destiny: she is said to embody the reincarnation of Maharani Ajabde, the legendary queen of Mewar. Her fate, they say, was sealed to reunite with a king and claim her throne of love.
But secrets lurk in the darkness-hidden at her very birth. Instead of a palace bathed in promise, she was confined within a gilded cage of neglect, violence, and impossible expectations, haunted by a loss no one dares to speak of. Her mother's silent grief and her father's cruelty cast long shadows, snuffing out any hope.
Ajay Abhay Sisodia grew up knowing his destiny was to be a hero, burdened by the weight of royal legacy and the pressure to keep up with his family name. Bound by rules and strictures, all Ajay yearned for was to live freely, to be ordinary. But was he selfish to desire simplicity?
In a past life, their spirits were intertwined-yet now, they are distorted by cruel reality.
How can one save a legacy when their own life lies in ruins? And can love, written in the stars, survive a history of heartbreak?
Hidden behind those red blindfolds, were curious eyes that once saw the world, soaked it's hue and carried dreams like every other girl. Gandhari, mother of 101 kids, sister of Shakuni but most importantly, she was yet another bird shackled by rules. We read about people who break rules and come out of their condition but this story is about a person who learns to accept her fate as she moves ahead in her journey of life, sometimes molding herself whilst other times finding leeway.

"Gandhari, you have changed." My brother said in a heavy tone, his eyes carrying an unknown guilt.
"Maybe because now I have been trained for every action I take." I mumbled out the truth.
