Despite their contrasting backgrounds, Raja and Yash share an unshakeable bond, one that is tested as they both fall irreversibly in love with Rani. Rani and Raja's love story flourishes, their connection as deep as it is true. Yet, Yash, unable to bear the sight of their happiness, succumbs to bitterness and jealousy.
