Devraj Varma, a billionaire CEO, is deeply rooted in a royal lineage steeped in ancient traditions. Each decade, he faithfully returns to his ancestral village, Shiva Ganga, to perform a sacred puja. During this year's ritual, destiny takes a surprising turn as he encounters Anika, a simple village belle, amidst his prayers. Their disparate worlds collide, sparking an unexpected love story that boldly defies all societal norms and expectations.

Anika, a woman of profound wisdom despite her lack of formal education, has lived her entire life in the heart of rural India. Her existence revolves around her family, embodying the very essence of selfless love as a devoted daughter and wife. Fate intervenes once more when Devraj's family, unaware of their burgeoning connection, chooses Anika for an arranged marriage, bringing their paths together again under extraordinary circumstances.

As the rightful heir to a sprawling empire, Devraj finds himself torn between the passionate desires of his heart and the weighty responsibilities of his duty. His steadfast brother, Yuvraj, stands as his unwavering pillar of support, much like Lakshman to Ram in Hindu mythology, offering strength and guidance. Meanwhile, Anika embarks on a daunting journey, navigating the intricate complexities of royal life, a world vastly different from her humble beginnings. Their love story, a tapestry woven with threads of grandeur from palaces and the serene simplicity of village life, unfolds as they bravely confront the formidable challenges of entrenched tradition, overwhelming family expectations, and the profound depths of their own hearts.

But can their love truly withstand the myriad tests the universe seems intent on throwing their way? And more critically, will Devraj be able to survive the ominous family curse that has plagued his lineage for generations, protecting not only his beloved Anika but all those he holds dear from its dark shadow?

"I- I just... he asked me to show the village, bava, and- ahh..." Her words broke into a gasp as his fingers pinched her waist hard. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from him, Ammu?" he said, his voice was low but laced with anger. "Bava... it hurts..." she whimpered, but he didn't stop. The pain burned through her skin, her cries fading into silence. In desperation, she bit his shoulder to stifle her scream. Neither gave in- His grip didn't loosen, Her teeth didn't let go. When he finally released her, his shoulder was bruised black, her bite marks deep and clear. Her waist throbbed in pain, the skin already turning purple.

The company-the empire he had built from sweat and sacrifice-exited like a mountain before him. It represented power, wealth, and influence. Kanika-she was his heart, the reason he breathed. Ansh's eyes held resignation. He had made his choice-the one that would haunt him forever. He stepped closer, the gun's muzzle against Kanika's temple. "Betrayer never stands a place in our lives " he whispered . . . . . . "I love you," she whispered, but love was no match for the weight of his decision. The gunshot tore through her, not just physically but emotionally. Ansh had shattered her trust, leaving her broken and bleeding.

Internal betrayal? Yes! Will they be overcome? Or Will it overcome them??? Buckle up your seats to witness their internal betrayals.
