Ronit Roy is such a versatile actor! From playing Mr. Bajaj to now a historical king - he brings such depth to every role. Excited to see this father-son dynamic on screen. Indian historical shows need more of this emotional realism rather than just action sequences.

As a mother, I completely relate to what Ronit is saying about parental emotions being timeless. Whether it's 12th century or 21st century, a parent's love and worries remain the same. Looking forward to watching this with my family! 🤗

Hope they don't take too many creative liberties with Prithviraj Chauhan's history. Our historical figures deserve accurate portrayals. That said, Ronit Roy is perfect casting for a royal father figure - he has that natural authority in his screen presence.

Finally some quality historical content on Indian TV! So tired of saas-bahu dramas. Padmini Kolhapure's comeback after 11 years is the cherry on top. June 4 can't come soon enough! 🎉

Interesting how actors bring their personal experiences to historical roles. But I hope the focus remains on Prithviraj Chauhan's military genius and resistance against foreign invaders - that's what made him truly great.

Ronit Roy's emotional intelligence as an actor is underrated. Whether it's a negative role or positive, he makes every character so believable. This show might finally give him the recognition he deserves beyond daily soaps.
