I said—since when is that a problem? People are paying lakhs to get that done. They can say the most bizarre things. You should just be aware of who you are and not care.” The Royals follows the journey of Aviraaj and Sophia portrayed by Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar as they come together to restore a decaying royal haveli into a luxurious boutique homestay.
