Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani

[1] The show initially focused on the love story of Rani Gayatri (Drashti Dhami) and Ranaji (Siddhant Karnick) (Season 1).

However, due to the deaths of their characters, the show focused on Rani (Eisha Singh), their daughter, and their son-in law, Raja (Sartaj Gill).

On the other hand, Rana Indravadhan Singh (Ranaji) is the king of Amerkot who has been traumatised after his first wife, Rani Sulakshana death.

However, challenges are presented by family members like Badi Rani Maa, a woman pretending to be Sulakshana, Avdhesh, Rageshowri and so on.

She is then saved by Lukhan and then disguises as Savitri to help Ranaji (King Rana) regain his memory.

He tells Badi Rani Maa this truth before he dies due to a spear passing through his chest during a performance at the festival of colours.

Everything seemed to be in the favour of Gayatri as the priest's testimony convinces Ranaji, until Badi Rani Maa exposes Savatri's real face in front of every one by pouring water on her.

Badi Rani Maa tries to convince Ranaji to just kill Rajmata and Gayatri, as it is how politics is played.

Badi Rani Maa then removes a big gun from clothes and points it at King Rana's face.

All hope seems to be lost until Swarnalekha and Lukhan throw a stick at Badi Rani Maa's head, knocking her out.

But with the help of her son, Kunwar Chandravadan, The vengeful Badi Rani Maa comes to grace the occasion with a jungle man named Kaal.

During these nine months, the women were trained by Rajmata to fight, since King Kaal had decreed that any pregnant woman should be killed in search of Gayatri.

After giving birth to her child, she goes to the palace with her baby, Rajmata, Lukhan and her army to fight Badi Rani Maa and Kaal.

Rajmata and the baby girl are met by Chandravadan who has orders from his mother, Badi Rani Maa to kill them.

He then spares their lives as Rajmata is able to convince him that Queen grandmother (Badi Rani Maa) will never give him the throne.

When Badi Rani Maa realizes that she is losing her grip on Raja, she decides to play her old game - being nice in the front to her enemies, while backstabbing them in the back.

Raja falls in bad company and becomes associated with criminals, still believing Rani deceived him and unaware that she is dead.

Badi Rani Maa attacks the family of Priyamvada on several occasions, as she had told Rajmata that she wants to play with them for a few days before she kills them.

In the final episode of Badi Rani Maa's attacks, she returns to the palace in the morning, infuriated how Rajmata put up a very great performance to trick her.

She then remembers the words that the witch doctor told her that if an honest man's blood touches her, she will lose all her powers.

The priest tells Rajmata that Raja and Rani are destined to return to prove that nothing is more powerful than true love.

Rani agrees to marry Kundan, who wants her money and plans to leave her behind after marriage to live in London.

Raj and Rani leave their other child Siddhi and set out on a journey to find the missing twin Riddhi.

Zee TV's business head, Mr. Pradeep Hejmadi said,“Even when it comes to genres such as history and mythology, a most fascinating period that remains unexplored by Indian television is the pre-Independence era.

This vibrant period of India's history that saw a great upheaval also saw the intense drama unfold in the lives of the royalty of the princely states.

Behind empty walls of grandeur and fake displays of splendor was hidden the truth of erosion of wealth, insecurities, succumbing to British dominion, depression, and bankruptcy.

"[7] Producers Sunjoy and Comall Wadhwa of Sphere Origins further add, “The idea has been to look back at a glorious period of history for inspiration and churn out a timeless masterpiece that will entertain and enthrall TV audiences.

The most daunting task at hand has been the re-creation of the pre-Independence era and the majestic lifestyles of the kings and queens of the princely states.

The show also had other notable cast including Anita Raj, Moonmoon Banerjee, Priya Tandon, and Surekha Sikri, who was seen in Balika Vadhu, Ajay Arya.
