Written by Neha Veena Sharma, The Royals chronicles the fortuitous romance between an entitled royal scion, Aviraaj (Ishaan) and a self-made entrepreneur, Sophia (Bhumi). With his father, the maharaj of Morpur, passing on, Aviraaj has to graduate from polo and tackle the royal reins. Enter Sophia: who needs to their the pristine Moti Mahal right into a Royal B&B.
Against this foreground of blossoming love, the present tracks the comedian, cacophonic dysfunctions of an Indian royal household, its profligate members caught between custom and change.
Speaking in regards to the present, Bhumi Pednekar mentioned: ““This show gave me a chance to play with my wardrobe, which I love so deeply. I’ve never chased playing an urban girl or playing a character that is away from what I usually do. I always go for scripts”. She known as the sequence “sensitive” and “progressive” in core, including that each one kinds of audiences will really feel represented watching it.
“It’s a fresh take on the romance between royal and a commoner. Most people thought this was a period piece when there were early talks about ‘The Royals’, but there is going to be a lot more,” Ishaan Khatter mentioned.
