Just like any other human being in such tough circumstances, even Aryan opts for the latter and chooses to forget about his skills when he was nearing the peak! But is he unhappy at his decision? Not at all, because he continues with his life just like any other person of his age and even goes on to have a child. With her smooth stride, Neha beautifully manages her two different roles role towards her family as well as her career.

Things do not continue to be rosy till eternity and she is forced to take a decision that changes the life course for both Aryan and Neha.

Meanwhile Aryan still remains connected with the world of sports through his job as a sports commentator. And this is where he realizes that his heart is still there in the boxing ring. With things not being particularly good in either his professional or personal life, inspiration from Ranveer Singh was the only thing that was required for Aryan to enter the ring again. Aryan gets into the boxing gear soon. He manages to encourage himself to take on the world once more. He can now dream of being a champion boxer all over again. But what about his soul, his heart, his life - Neha? Because now she is no more with him! She has left him! He is all alone. With just his dreams, aspirations and willpower! No one to give him supporting hands when he requires them the most!

What happens to Aryan now? Will sheer physical prowess, great mental strength and will-power enable him to be the invincible? Or would his resolve be brittle enough to break soon in absence of his love? Will Aryan Win again? Aryan is about dreams and following your dreams to the best of your ability, irrespective of the fact whether you win or loose.
