"Hearts Entwined" is a tale of power, trust, and the unlikely spark of love that can arise from even the coldest of marriages.
**Samarth Rajvansh**, the enigmatic heir to a royal family, now a formidable business tycoon with secret ties to the underworld. Ruthless, cold, and bound by the weight of his royal lineage, Samarth has built an empire but lives a life filled with shadows. His every move is calculated, his heart guarded, and his trust hard to earn. Behind the grandeur of his royal heritage lies a dark connection to the mafia, a secret that keeps him locked in a world of danger
**Aashi Gupta**, a bright and independent software engineer, raised in a middle-class family. She's smart, self-sufficient, and fiercely determined to forge her own path in life. Her focus has always been on her career, not on the trappings of wealth or status. When her family arranges her marriage to Samarth, she's thrust into a world she never imagined-a world of palaces, power, and hidden peril
For Samarth, the marriage is nothing more than a business transaction, a marriage of convenience to satisfy the demands of his royal family and protect his image. But Aashi isn't the submissive bride he expected. She challenges his icy exterior, matching his sharp wit with her intelligence and daring to question his every move. The tension between them is undeniable, but so is the pull that draws them together despite the walls Samarth has built around his heart.
Can their marriage, born out of convenience, survive the storm of secrets and lies? And in a world where love is seen as weakness, will Samarth and Aashi find a way to turn their arrangement into something real, or will the shadows of his past tear them apart?
