In 1985, Deva and Vardharaja Vardha Mannar was close friends in Khansaar. Raja Mannar is the father of Vardhar. He ruled on powerful city-state. When Raja Mannar orders the destruction of the Shouryaanga tribe, Vardha intervenes to save Deva and his mother by exchanging his territory for their lives.

In 2017, Krishnakanth sends his daughter, Aadhya, to Deva’s home in Assam for protection, where she pretends to be an English instructor. Aadhya is abducted by a convoy bearing Khansaar’s emblem, prompting Deva to rescue her. Vardha and his stepsister Radha are both drawn to this act. Radha had planned the abduction to avenge Krishnakanth’s past wrongs and to cause conflict between Deva and Vardha. According to Khansaar’s history, Raja Mannar’s father ensured the city’s autonomy after independence by killing Dhaara, the rightful heir from the Shouryaanga tribe.
