Thorns of the Crown

Summary

When fiercely independent neurosurgeon Dr. Saanvi Mehra is forced into an arranged marriage with India’s most powerful CEO and heir to the throne, Aarav Singh Rathore, her world turns upside down. He's the arrogant, charming, devastatingly handsome King of Rajasthan — always in the public eye, commanding respect and fear. She's bold, modern, and refuses to be just a "queen on his arm." Their marriage, announced in a grand royal press conference, is nothing more than a deal. For Aarav, it's duty. For Saanvi, it's sacrifice. But behind palace gates and public smiles lie power games, burning tension, and a manipulative aunt desperate to destroy their bond. As cameras flash and the nation watches their every move, Aarav and Saanvi are drawn into a battle of wills, pride, and forbidden desire. He hates how much she challenges him. She swears she’ll never fall for him. But in a world where love is weakness and loyalty is tested, will their forced union crown them… or crush them?
