Ishaan Khatter is bringing the royal mouth — and a dosage of pragmatism — in Netflix’s latest offering The Royals. Playing a reluctant prince, Ishaan hilariously tackles the tangible issue of celebrity entourages, both onscreen and off.
In a cheeky bit from Episode 2, Ishaan’s reference Aviraaj Singh throws shade at his brother’s monumental reinforcement squad, calling it “an election rally.” His comrade, played by Vihaan Samat, claps endorse expression his squad handles what “no one else can.” Sound familiar?
Off camera, Ishaan mirrored the sentiment, notification PTI he prefers workings without a manager on set and believes in blending in with the crew. “Nobody should fetch an entourage big it dents the production budget,” he said, without naming names — but we try you, Ishaan.
With Bhumi Pednekar co-starring as a no-nonsense startup queen, the duo’s mission to revamp a royal haveli into a luxe B&B is both fun and refreshed. Bridgerton vibes, with a desi distort? Count us in.
The Royals is now streaming — and stirring up more than simply castle drama.
