- The story revolves around a medieval kingdom named Subhangarh and its soldier named Ayaan who fought against the odds to save his kingdom from an unknown threat.
- Story starts with the depiction of Subhangarh, a medieval city of India and one of the strongest kingdoms of that era. The kingdom was ruled by King Madhavaditya who believes in the fact that one must adhere to the occupation to which he/she is born with. He has a younger sister named princess Vaidehi. She was one of the most beautiful girls of the entire Subhangarh. Then there was Sikandar, the commander in chief of Subhangarh. It is shown two ministers were waiting for him outside the royal temple of Subhangarh. He eventually shows up and bows to the temple. He was a man of principles for whom emotions always come after duties. One day there was a tug of war going on in Subhangarh in which a guy named Ayaan participates and won the prize for the poor and orphan children of Subhangarh. It is shown he was an ordinary soldier of Subhangarh. Few days later Madhaditya is having a walk in the royal garden with Sikandar, Nardev(prime-minister of Subhangarh) and few soldiers(including Ayaan). Suddenly a soldier comes from the palace and offers the milk prepared by the queen for him. King orders the soldier to wait for him as he will be back in a while and will have the milk then. After Madhavaditya is gone, a fly sits on the milk. Ayaan saw that and he made the fly to fly away from milk. Suddenly he noticed that the fly has died. Ayaan suspects the milk might contain poison, but he knew that being an ordinary soldier, no one is going to believe him. King Madhavaditya returns and is about to drink the milk but before he could do that, Ayaan throws himself on the king resulting the milk being spoiled on the ground. Ayaan apologized and told them he lost the balance. Madhavaditya and Nardev scolds Ayaan for being so careless and good for nothing. After they are gone, Ayaan tries to tell Sikandar the truth, but he doesn't listen to him. The story then goes in flashback in which both young and Ayaan and Sikandar confessed their love for Vaidehi to each other and decided to marry her. They trained very hard and became one of the greatest warriors of Subhangarh as they grew up. One day Ayaan told Sikandar about a tournament going to held after 6 months in which the greatest warriors (even from outside of Subhangarh) will participate and the one who wins the competition will become the commander in chief of Subhangarh. They participate in the competition and eventually Ayaan beats Sikandar in the final round. Madhavaditya came and congratulated Ayaan for winning the competition. As he was going to announce the name of Ayaan as the new commander in chief, a minister informs Madhavaditya that Ayaan belongs to a small caste. This enrages king Madhavaditya as it was against his principles that a person from a small caste participates in a tournament of greatest warriors. He barely keeps himself from punishing Ayaan and eventually offers him to become an ordinary soldier of Subhangarh, to which Ayaan agrees. Then Madhavaditya declares Sikandar as the new commander in chief. Everyone bows to Sikandar. After that Subhangarh faces many wars against outsiders and wins against them because of the presence of two of the great warriors, Ayaan and Sikandar. Though Ayaan doesn't get any attention and reputation since he was just a mere soldier. On the other hand, Sikandar was credited as the greatest warrior of all the time by the crowd of Subhangarh. The growing popularity of Sikandar even attracts princess Vaidehi towards him. As they grew close to each other, Ayaan understands that he has lost his everything including reputation, his childhood friend Sikandar and his true love Vaidehi, just because he belongs to a small caste. He accepts his fate though. Madhavaditya announced the marriage of Vaidehi with Bheema, the highest official of Subhangarh and the cousin brother of prime minister Nardev. Bheema was considered as the most intelligent member from the entire royal family of Subhangrah. Both Sikandar and Vaidehi were unhappy with this marriage and Ayaan felt the pain of both of them and decided to do something. The story comes back to the current time (after the fly scene). Few days later, Vaidehi writes a letter to someone. She then calls upon a random soldier which turns out to be Ayaan only and asked him to deliver this letter to Sikandar. He agrees and took the letter from her. After moving few steps, he realizes that Sikandar had went to the forest with king Madhavaditya for hunting. So, Ayaan moves towards the forest too. While on the way, he crashes with another soldier who was also taking a letter for someone. Their letters were exchanged. Ayaan instantly realizes this, and he was about to call the soldier that their letters are exchanged. But suddenly he sees that letter has a sign of rival enemy kingdom, Prabalgarh. Wondering for whom this letter could be, Ayaan tries to open the letter but is interrupted by the soldier. He snatches back his letter throwing the one written by Vaidehi on ground and told Ayaan that their letters were replaced and walk away. This strange incident makes Ayaan suspicious. After some time, the soldier takes the letter to the lonely far side of the castle. He gives the letter to Nardev. The letter was written by Dheerendra Singh, the king of Prabalgarh. He warns Nardev to kill Madhavaditya as soon as possible or else it will lead to dangerous consequences for him. This enrages Nardev. He was calm down by someone hiding in the dark. It turns out to be Bheema! The truth finally reveals that Nardev along with Bheema were planning to kill King Madhavaditya (with the help of resources sent to them by Prabalgarh) and then becoming the King of Subhangarh. On the other hand, after being married to Vaidehi, half of the land of Subhangarh would be handed over to Bheema i.e to Vaidehi's husband as per Subhangarh's laws. In this way both Nardev and Bheema will conquer Subhangarh and then they will give one-fourth of Subhangarh's land to Prabalgarh as a reward for helping both of them in this conspiracy. It was also revealed that the poison in the glass of milk was also mixed by Nardev and Bheema only. Nardev writes a letter in reply to Dheerendra Singh's letter informing his further plan of action. Nardev hands over this letter to the soldier who originally brought the letter. The soldier departs for Prabalgarh. It is revealed that Ayaan secretly heard all their conversation. After learning the truth, Ayaan decides to stop them but felt helpless as he knew that no one will listen to an ordinary soldier like him and that too when he will try to expose kingdom's one of the highest ministers. So, Ayaan decides to keep this matter to himself. Ayaan catches up with the soldier. After a small fight, Ayaan wins and takes the letter with him in order to show this letter as a proof against Bheema and Nardev to Madhavaditya. But before Ayaan could arrest the corrupt soldier, he throws sand in his eyes, attacks with his knife and ran away leaving Ayaan with a wounded leg and the letter behind. He returns to Bheema and Nardev and told all the situation to them. Bheema asked the soldier to send Rahaka to kill Ayaan. On the other hand, wounded Ayaan was slowly moving towards the forest to meet Madhavaditya. He was interrupted by a beast like tribal human named Rahaka. Ayaan easily knocks off Rahaka and proceeds further towards the forest. Suddenly Rahaka stands up and hit Ayaan's head with a rock. Then he stabs Ayaan several times with his sharp weapon. Ayaan barely kills Rahaka but is severely injured in the process. Back to the far side of castle, after learning that Ayaan even killed Rahaka, Nardev is now worried what to do. Bheema tells Nardev that he has a plan for rescue and immediately pricks a poisonous thorn into Nardev's neck leaving Nardev paralyzed. He then shows Nardev Ayaan's knife which he stole before and explains to him that this was all along his plan to kill Nardev and then frame Ayaan for his murder which will result in a clash of Ayaan and Sikandar making them kill each other. And once Ayaan and Sikandar, the two of the greatest warriors of all the time die, no one can come up in his way of killing Madhavaditya and subsequently conquering Vaidehi, the whole Subhangarh and the Prabalgarh. He stabs paralyzed Nardev with Ayaan's knife. Nardev died in shock. Bheema then calls Sikandar and with the help of his intellect eventually convinces Sikandar about Ayaan's treachery and that Ayaan, after killing Nardev is now going to kill Madhavaditya to become the king of Subhangarh and then forcefully marrying Vaidehi. Bheema orders Sikandar to kill him. Bound by his principles to serve and obey the royalties, Sikandar agrees to do so. He catches up with the severely injured Ayaan who was merely crawling towards the forest to find the king Madhavaditya. Sikandar lies to Ayaan by saying that he has a change of heart and now puts human values and emotions before the principles. Ayaan becomes happy to learn that he finally got his childhood friend back. He hugs Sikandar. But before he could tell Sikandar the truth. Ayaan was stabbed in back by Sikandar resulting in Ayaan being fatally injured. Before dying, Ayaan gives three letters to Sikandar and asked him to read them before any further action as a last wish. Ayaan dies. Sikandar starts to read all the letters one by one. First letter was written by Nardev to Dheerendra Singh, after reading to which Sikandar realized that Nardev and Bheema were the real culprits. Second letter was written by Vaidehi to Sikandar, expressing her love for Sikandar, making Sikandar realize that Ayaan was trying to make Vaidehi and Sikandar together and was not trying to forcefully marry Vaidehi. And third letter was written by Ayaan himself to Sikandar in which he describes about their friendship and how lucky Ayaan feels for getting a friend like Sikandar in his life. He requests Sikandar to leave his principles for the sake of his emotions and to marry his true love Vaidehi and also to take care of the orphan children of his caste after him. After reading all the three letters, Sikandar dropped to his knees and cried a lot for committing such a big blunder of killing Ayaan. Sikandar then stops Bheema's assassins that were going to kill Madhavaditya and then finally arrests Bheema. After that Bheema is sentenced for a lifetime prison. After few years, it was shown Sikandar was now a completely different man who places emotions far before principles. He was married happily to Vaidehi with a son named AYAAN.
