RAJMAHAL -
Once upon a time there was a king named Raja SangaMitra .
He was a very just King.
All his subjects used to swear on his kindness.
He had two children - Yuvraj Rishab and Yuvrani Nandini.
Rishab was 5 years elder to Nandini.
Rishab was a very kind Prince just like his father.
And he was a very protective brother.
Nandini was always pampered by the duo.
Nandini had lost her mother at a very young age.
She was a shy, sweet and innocent girl.
Her father Raja Sangamitra didn't remarry after the death of his first wife as he didn't want his kids to suffer incase the new woman in their lives turns out to be evil.
But he never let the kids to feel the absence of their mother.
He gave both his children the live of mother and father.
They were one happy family.
Nandini was very delicate.
She was a trained singer.
Every morning, she used to do her music practice.
That's how the day of the Rajmahal would begin.
One day an Evil King Raja Vikram who ruled the neighbouring empire laid his eyes on Nandini while she was roaming in the garden.
He liked her beauty and her voice.
Raja Vikram made a vow to make her his.
He approached Raja SangaMitra and asked for Nandini's hand in marriage.
Raja SangaMitra was aware of the philandering ways of Raja Vikram.
He was a womaniser and an alcoholic.
So Raja SangaMitra straightforward rejected the proposal.
Raja Vikram felt very offended and insulted due to the rejected.
He left the Rajmahal and went to his kingdom.
But he couldn't forget the insult done by Raja Sangamitra.
He was determined to take revenge of the insult.
He plotted against Raja SangaMitra.
Raja Vikram attacked the Rajmahal in the darkness of the night.
He broke the pact between the two Kingdoms that they wouldn't attack each other.
Raja Vikram put Raja SangaMitra behind the bars and took control over the Kingdom.
Prince Rishab tried to protest but King Vikram beat him and threw him outside the Rajmahal.
Prince Rishab was helpless as he didn't have any support to attack the guards of King Vikram.
Prince Rishab tried everything to sneak into the Rajmahal to save Nandini but always got caught.
Nandini was kept in a desolated part of the Rajmahal.
Nobody knew the place where Nandini was kept. It was known only to King Vikram.
He used to visit Nandini everyday and tried to convince her to marry him.
But Nandini never allow him to come close to her and refused to marry him.
King Vikram used to get angry and beat Nandini with a hunter .
But Nandini's determination was so strong that despite the pain she suffered, never agreed to King Vikram's demands.
She had full confidence that one day her brother Prince Rishab would come to save her.
She was living with this single hope.
Like they say everyone has some weakness.
So did King Vikram ...
King Vikram had a small sister of Nandini's age .
He loved his sister to such an extent that he would sacrifice his life for her.
Princess ALIYA was the sister of King Vikram.
She was a very beautiful girl . Full of confidence. But she had a sweet and innocent side to her.
One day Princess ALIYA was to return to King Vikram as she had completed her studies in a gurukul for Royals.
Princess Aliya had met a prince of neighbouring Kingdom and fell in love with him.
The prince was none other than Yuvraj Manik.
He was the only son of Raja Yashvardhan Singh.
Manik was handsome, intelligent and a very sophisticated person.
Initially he didn't like Aliya but later due to her sweet nature decided not to break her heart and agreed to marry her.
King Vikram was very happy for Princess Aliya.
He met Yuvraj Manik and instantly liked him.
King Vikram fixed Aliya and Manik's marriage after consulting Manik's father.
Both of them were to be married in a couple of weeks.
King Vikram invited Yuvraj Manik to stay at his Rajmahal so that they can get to know more about each other.
Yuvraj Manik accepted the invitation.
He came to stay at the Rajmahal.
Though Yuvraj Manik himself lived in a Palace but he was impressed with the interiors of this Rajmahal.
King Vikram welcomed Yuvraj Manik in a grand way and threw a lavish party to the subjects of his Kingdom.
Prince Rishab also attended the party in disguise to save his sister.
But again got caught by the guards.
This time King Vikram decided to kill Prince Rishab.
He would have succeeded had Manik not interfered.
Manik saw that the guards of King Vikram were beating up a person.
Yuvraj Manik said to them that without any reason they shouldn't be attacking a person who is without a weapon.
King Vikram had to leave Prince Rishab as he couldn't disclose his secret before him.
Prince Rishab observed that Yuvraj Manik was not as bad as King Vikram.
So he decided to take Yuvraj Manik's help to free his sister Nandini.
One fine day when Manik was walking in the garden of the Rajmahal when he heard a beautiful voice of a girl singing.
Manik was really impressed with the voice.
He looked around everywhere but couldn't find the location from where that voice was coming.
Manik fell in love with that voice.
It had become Manik's routine that daily he used to come to the garden to listen to that voice.
And to his luck, Manik spotted a huge wall at the back of the Rajmahal.
He went near the wall and realized that the voice was coming from behind the wall.
Manik tried to climb the wall but it was too tall.
So he decided to talk to the owner of the voice from across the wall.
Manik - Umm... Maaf kijiye ga. Kya mai jaan sakta hu ki aap kaun ho.
Nandini immediately stopped singing on hearing a stranger's voice.
Nandini - Dekhiye aap Jo bhi ho. Yahan se chale jaiye.
Manik - Magar aap hai kaun aur is deewar ke peeche kya kar rahi ho.
Manik heard the sound of anklets behind the wall.
The sound decreased which indicated that the girl wearing the anklets had run away from there.
The next few days Manik tried to search for her but failed.
One day while Manik had gone out to visit the market, he was stopped by a person whose condition was worst than a beggar.
Manik asked - Kaun ho aap.
The person - Mai Yuvraj Rishab hu.
Aap Jo Rajmahal me reh rahe ho wo hamara hai. Raja Vikram ne dhoke se usey apne kabze me kar lia. Aur mere Pitaji aur behen ko bhi bandhi bana lia. Please aap unhe chudane me meri madad kijiye.
Manik - Theek hai mai aap ki madad karunga but Hume kaise pata chalega ki Raja Vikram ne in dono ko kaha chupane rakha hai.
Rishab- Pitaji ko to unhone Karavas me rakha hai bandhi banake aur meri behen ko pata nahi kaha rakha hoga.
Manik remembered that he had heard a girl sing behind the huge wall so he asked Rishab if his sister can sing.
Rishab answered in positive.
Manik told Rishab everything that he had heard a girl's voice from behind the wall.
They both made a plan to rescue Nandini.
Meanwhile the prepations of Manik and ALIYAs marriage were going on in full swing.
Taking the opportunity Manik sneaked Rishab into the Rajmahal.
Rishab went and rescued Raja SangaMitra and then went to the wall that Manik had mentioned.
Rishab called Nandini's name and she instantly recognised his voice.
She told him that the key to the door leading inside the wall was with Raja Vikram and that no one can reach the key without his permission.
Rishab went and told everything to Manik.
Manik decided to help Rishab in getting the key.
Manik somehow reached King Vikram's room and got the key hidden in a vase.
He was about to take the key outside when Raja Vikram pointed a gun at Manik.
Raja Vikram- Yuvraj Manik aap hamare behen ke hone wale pati hai. Aap ko ye sab Shoba nahi deta. Wo chabi Hume de dijiye chul chap.
Manik ignored him and Was about to walk away when Raja Vikram pulled the gun's trigger pointing it towards Manik.
But someone pushed Manik aside and took the bullet in her chest.
It was Princess Aliya who came in between to save her love Manik.
Aliya fell down and Manik came rushing to her and kept her head on his lap.
Manik- Ye apne kya kardiya Aliya.
Hamari jaan bachane ke liye apne apni jaan daav pe lagadi.
Aliya - Manik hum apse pyar karte hai. Jaan se bhi zyada pyar karte hai. Apke liye to aisi 100 zindagiya khurban kardenge hum.
Manik Hume kabhi mat bhool na. Humse zyada pyar apko shayad hi koi karega. Ab hamare Jane ka saman aagaya hai.
Manik - Aliya tumhe Kuch nahi hoga. Aisi baatein mat karo. Hum abhi vaid Ji ko bulate hain.
Aliya held Manik's hand and said-
Manik hamari akhri icha Puri kardijiye. Hum apki suhagan banke narna chahte hai. Hamari maang bhar dijiye.
Manik didn't want to reject ALIYAs last wish so he filled her hair parting with his blood by cutting his thumb with a knife.
Aliya cupped Manik's face and closed her eyes forever.
The world stopped for Raja Vikram.
He had shot his own sister.
In his madness he had destroyed his own world.
Now he didn't have any reason to live as his sister was dead.
He couldn't take it and shot himself with the same gun with which he had shot Aliya.
Manik Still wasvin a shock of ALIYAs death.
Rishab kept his hand on Manik's shoulder.
Manik got up and gave the keys to Rishab.
Rishab Went and freed Nandini.
Meanwhile Manik cremated Aliyah and Vikram with due respect.
Raja SangaMitra thanked Manik for Helping them in getting the Rajmahal and Nandini back.
Manik for the first time saw Nandini.
Both their eyes meet and they got lost in each other.
Manik had already begin to love her voice and on seeing her beauty he couldn't control himself looking at Nandini for a long time.
Few days passed by.
Manik father also came to visit the Rajmahal and both the Kings decided to get their children married.
And finally the day arrived for Manik and Nandini's marriage.
Nandini assured Manik that though they would be husband and wife but still she would never ever think of taking ALIYAs place in his heart.
Manik felt happy that though he didn't love Aliya but still she had a special place in his heart as she had sacrificed her life for Manik. And that Nandini was understanding enough to accept him with ALIYAS memories.
Both of them got married and Nandini went to Manik's Kingdom.
And Raja SangaMitra and Yuvraj Rishab got their Rajmahal back.
And all of them lived happily ever after.
