Porus married his love interest Pachi, and at the same time, got to know about Alexander's entry into India. His rival, Ambhiraj, king of Takshashila, befriends Alexander to take revenge from them.

However, Porus does not fear fighting Alexander, and hence, starts the epic Battle of the Hydaspes, wherein Porus fights very bravely but loses almost his whole family in the battle. After Porus's loss, Alexander, impressed by his valour and courage, befriends Porus and leaves India, leaving Seleucus and Ambhikumar, son of Ambhiraj, enraged.

Alexander dies on his way back to Greece, whereas the heir of Porus, Malayketu is born. However, Seleucus and Ambhikumar assassinate Porus and Lachi, but Porus sends his son safe into the Jhelum river before dying.

Now, it is upon Chanakya(who was with Porus) to fulfill Porus's dream of a free India.
