Aarav Sharma was always the tall, overweight boy—never ugly, but invisible in his own way. Growing up in the bustling metros of India, he drifted through life unnoticed, overlooked, and treated like an option rather than a choice. His first taste of connection was fleeting—a girl who seemed kind but held him only as a backup, a placeholder until someone “better” came along.

Hurt but not broken, Aarav’s world shatters and rebuilds itself through blood, sweat, and fire. He dives into self-care, martial arts, and business, fighting bullies and doubters alike. From the gyms of Mumbai to the underground fight rings of Tokyo, Aarav battles not only opponents in the ring but also his own self-doubt and betrayal from those he once trusted.

As his business empire IronSoul rises, so do his stakes. A rival gym run by a ghost from his past and a devastating injury threaten to end his fight career. But Aarav’s journey is far from over. With the fierce Leyla by his side, fighting for a cause bigger than themselves, he travels the world—building hope, rescuing the broken, and facing darkness in unexpected forms.

In the shadows of politics, corruption, and a final legendary fight that pits him against an old rival and his own inner demons, Aarav must decide what it truly means to fight—for love, honor, and legacy.

IRONSOUL is a tale of resilience and revolution—where pain becomes power, and a boy once left behind carves his name into history.

After his win, Aarav trended worldwide.


Sponsors offered him contracts. A UK-based fight docuseries wanted to make a film on him. An Indian politician's son even offered ₹3 crore to become co-owner of IronSoul.


Suddenly, Aarav was being invited to elite parties in Tokyo, introduced to models, fast cars, private clubs. People who once ignored him now said he was "an icon."


It began affecting his sleep. His discipline. Even his heart.
