Banaras.
Shourya, the quiet, duty-bound heir to Bihar’s sand empire, arrives at Varanasi Hindu
University carrying the weight of his father’s name and a warning to avoid distractions. He’s
prepared to follow the path laid out for him — until he meets Naina, the bold and fiercely
independent daughter of the infamous ‘Liquor King’ of Uttar Pradesh!
Their worlds collide in the chaos of campus life and an instant connection is formed.
Set against the mystical backdrop of India’s holiest city, Shourya and Naina discover a
togetherness that offers freedom, hope, and the courage to dream beyond the lives they
were born into. Over hushed conversations and stolen moments along the ancient Ganga
Ghats, love blossoms — pure, passionate, and dangerously defiant.
However, in a city where tradition runs deep and every step is watched, their love soon
becomes a quiet rebellion against expectations, fear, and the very idea that their futures are
already decided.
Can love rewrite a legacy? Or will the currents of the Ganga carry them back to the lives
they tried to escape? Read on to find out.
A tale of passion, defiance, and destiny — Banaras: An Eternal Love Story is a sweeping
saga that will stay with you long after the final page.
