So excited for this! The cast looks amazing and I love royal dramas. Ishaan and Bhumi have such great chemistry in the poster 😍 Can't wait for May 9!

Interesting concept but I hope they don't overdo the modern meets royal angle. Some recent royal shows have felt too try-hard with the contemporary references. Still, the cast is solid so I'll give it a shot.

The poster looks gorgeous but I'm most excited about the directors - Priyanka Ghose did such great work on Four More Shots Please. If the writing is half as good as that, we're in for a treat.

Not sure how I feel about another royal-themed show... but Bhumi Pednekar never disappoints so I'll definitely watch at least the first episode!
