Before Season 2 starts, Radhikaraje Gaekwad criticizes The Royals for its incorrect depiction of India’s princely families.
Although The Royals from Netflix, with actors Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, has got eyebrows raised by its exciting glamour, there are still some who are not convinced. After news of Season 2 coming out, Radhikaraje Gaekwad, Maharani of Baroda, publicly expresses disappointment at the show’s depiction of Indian royal families.
Expressing her views on Insta, the Maharani posted an entry called “The Royal Ignore”, commenting on how royals were presented in the show. Alison thinks that since British royalty was a source of Indian heritage, they could have handled being portrayed in these films better, given the way they strived to help politics, hospitality, education and protect their heritage.
She celebrated the example of Indian royals and especially the ladies, for going on to inspire generations by leading and safeguarding traditions without being official heads themselves. The Maharani also pointed out that new generations are continuing what their parents did and breaking through traditional stereotypes.
Netflix just revealed a Season 2 is coming to India, paired with a mysterious throne image and while that excites some fans, opinions aren’t unanimous.
Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy created The Royals which also features Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi and Zeenat Aman. It looks like the real stars of the show are here.
