As the trailer dropped on social media, excited fans started to pour in their love in the comments section. One user wrote, “Can’t wait to watch @ishaankhatter, that maharaja look damn” while another one said, “Im Here For Zeenat- once a queen is always a queen”. Another user commented, “Bhumi giving major girl boss vibes”. A third comment said, “Ye show toh full drama lag raha hai, can’t wait! (This show looks like it is full of drama)”.

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.
Talking about her character, Bhumi said, “ Playing Sophia felt like stepping into a world that’s both aspirational and deeply relatable. She’s fierce, ambitious, and emotionally honest — qualities I’ve always been drawn to. ”
