The series is a restructuring of Pehredaar Piya Ki,[4] which received negative social media response for depicting its two central characters, Diya, an 18-year-old princess and Ratan, a 9-year-old prince, as married.[5][6] The Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) asked SET India to move the series to a later 10pm time slot and the network complied. After a drop in viewership resulting from the move,[7] series producers opted to restructure the series for prime time, in part by removing the child marriage theme by advancing Ratan's age to adulthood and recasting the character.[8]
Premise
editIt follows the life of a 30-year-old girl Diya, who sacrificed 12 years of her life by fulfilling a dying man's wish on his deathbed by becoming the caretaker of his heir and son, Ratan Maan Singh. She shares no relationship with Ratan or his family and there is no greed which drives her to do this. Set against the royal canvas of Rajasthan, the show challenges the conventional perception of men being the protector of women. Ratan is constantly being targeted by attackers, and it is up to Diya to find the person behind the attacks who might as well be part of the family. The show is about Diya, a 30-year-old Rajput woman of the Kshatrani caste who gave up 12 years of her life to protect Ratan, a 21-year-old heir to the Rajput throne who lives in London after his parents' death in an accident and returns to Surajgarh to become the king.
Plot
editSince Diya's duties get over, she decides to marry Abhay Singh Rathore, her fiancé but he leaves her. Ratan learns his late father wanted him to be with Diya, so he marries her reluctantly. Ratan finds it hard to fulfill his responsibilities to Diya, also due to the nine-year age gap between them. More problems arise when Yash marries Mohana, Arpita's daughter. Ratan decides to divorce Diya, only after helping her win a case against Abhay and Arpita. Diya then realizes her love for Ratan. Another problem arises when a man claims that he is the real Ratan Maan Singh and tries to influence the entire family against Ratan. His truth is revealed, as he tries to assassinate the entire family. Ratan then realizes his love for Diya, and they work together with their family to eliminate the terrorist. The show ends revealing that Diya is pregnant with Ratan's child and Mohana is pregnant with Yash's child.
