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.
