So he was not born a royal! Even better, he was born to a dacoit and a courtesan! As far from a royal lineage as it can get! His mother died giving birth to him and his father wanted him dead too. Since it was more profitable to sell him rather than kill him, he gave him up to the Queen of Amerkot. And that is how the son of Sartaj the dacoit and Heerabhai the courtesan became the Crown Prince and later the Raja of Amerkot!

A very, very interesting back story and a very credibly narrated one too!

I have just a few issues. This show was touted as the love story between a King and a commoner. Turns out both are commoners, at least by birth! And since royal lineage is derived by birth and not by character, Indravadhan technically has no claim to the throne. The first right would now go to Kunwar Chandravadhan and then his son, Lakshraj. It does not matter that they are not royal by character. They are royals by birth and hence, by law, they have the first right to the throne.

Indravadhan's present identity rests on a lie. Rani Priyamvada lied that he was her son. So there was no way there could have been a formal adoption or even the rituals that would have had to be performed to sanctify such a relationship!

Knowing Indravadhan, I can't imagine him clinging on to the throne once he knows the truth. He would want to serve his people forever but would he feel he has the moral or the legal right to be King? And Indravadhan is a very righteous man!

He already feels that he falls short of the standards for a King set by his deceased father. Now, when he knows that the deceased King was not even his biological father, he will be even more convinced probably that he is not fit to be King!

So how are the creatives going to handle this one? How are they going to perpetuate or justify Indravadhan's royal status? Now that Indravadhan himself is not a royal by birth, how will any heirs he may have ever have a right over the throne? So what is the story then going to be? How he adjusts to the life of a commoner? How he becomes a people's King even if he is not one by birth?

Am now curious to see where they take this track. Wherever it may go, I am really waiting for the time when Indravadhan gets to know the secret of his birth!

What will his equation be with Rajmata thereafter? What of his equation with Gayathri even? When he knows that she did not reveal the truth to him once she got to know it?

In the middle of all this, he is probably going to be accused of misbehaving with Raageshwari. And the righteous King might impose a harsh punishment on himself! How will they get him out of that one?

If Gayathri had been a born royal, there might have been an interesting conflict in terms of how her family may have reacted to this truth! Since she is not one, I guess that angle will not come into play!

Whatever, this track has the potential to make or break this show! For the sake of the actors, I really hope it makes it!

I want to say two things..
1.Siddhant Karnick is a brilliant performer...I mean ranaji is not born royal,but still SK portrayed the role of ranaji so well that he actually gave a royal touch to the character...I am just amused to see his performance..Seeing him,who could say that he doesn't belong to royal family???
I think Rana Indravardhan's character should be remembered by everyone in Indian Television-"A king who is not born royal but deserves to be the king"..
2.This is the most interesting twist in etretr..
If handled properly by cvs,this would give a good message to the viewers-"democracy is better than monarchy.One who should be sitting on the throne,should have all the capabilities to head tha State".I don't know what will be viewer's response to it...But if everyone think deeply about this,than they would understand my POV..

First they made BRM orphan, and now ranaji is dacoit's son,i hope next it's not rajmata's turn😆I reall hope she remains royal😆

Well, jokes a part,this twist has the potential to make and break the serial.I am actually relieved that they didn't make rajmata characterless.As you said it will be interesting to see how it will effect Rana and also how will he react after knowing that G hid this truth from him.

I really hope they have some sensible story to tell.And hope they concentrate more on the leads and rajmata.I am watching this serial only for these characters not the villains.And they can bring much needed separation to revive the love story and they can even bring swarna's story so that they can justify his royal status.I mean, as lakshya is a gay(which was considered to be a crime during those days), they can't make him a king.

Whatever it is i want them to give more importance and screen space to the leads, and most importantly, i want to see the love story and some emotional quotient in the story.

I think the Kunwars could contest Indravadhan's kinghip in court...irrespective of his lineage, he is the reigning king...even if he has to be removed, there has to be a process...but I really wonder if these creatives are capable of such things...they are not really concerned about authenticity...!

My feeling is Indravadhan will himself step down when he knows the truth...the truth about his parentage will come as a huge shock to him and shatter his self belief completely at least temporarily...moreover, he will also feel that he does not have the legal or moral right to the position he holds because he is not the son of the deceased Rana...irrespective of his qualities, royal positions were inherited and not handed out on the basis of character...!

The Kunwars will not be wrong in challenging the kingship of Indravadhan...I am really not sure how they will take this forward...how can there be a conflict over succession when Indravdhan is clearly not a royal by birth?

The point I guess is that your upbringing has much of influence over your character and persona as your birth does...!

Siddhant has performed brilliantly...and this track offers him huge scope once again...it is Indravadhan who is in the centre of the storm...Rajmata and Gayathri can only support him at best...he will have to fight this battle...not just with his detractors but himself too...for there will be a lot of internal conflict..!

His equation with Rajmata is going to be interesting to watch...and even Gayathri..he may not feel worthy of her...!

As an actor, it should be a dream track for Siddhant...let us wait and watch!

This storyline gives a clear message, you don't have to be born a King to rule a Kingdom wisely, though Ranaji does not have that born lineage of a King, he is really wise as a King and his traits are also like a True King..

Agree...this track needs careful handling...I really don't know if these writers are capable of such complexity..!
