What Ishaan and Bhumi said about their roles

"To share the screen with such legendary and accomplished actors has been inspiring and a joy. The Royals is a fresh, modern-day rom-com — zany, unpredictable, and packed with surprises. There’s a lot of love, drama, humour — something for everyone. Maharaja Aviraaj is the most frustratingly charming character I've essayed and I hope the audience enjoys him as much as I enjoyed playing the role," Ishaan said about his role in the series.
