The Royals director on showing Ishaan Khatter's 'hot, young, sexy' side: He is this guy

The Royals is an unconventional series. It does not show Ishaan Khatter as the traditional Maharaj who is strict on 'parampara pratishtha anushasan,' but in fact is a charismatic boy who believes in and lives through ‘situationships.’ He is the prince who is modern and gen z in every sense. He's young, hot and flirtatious, and doesn't shy away from portraying so on camera. The Royals is that kind of a series, and the director Priyanka Ghose opens up on exploring that side of Ishaan through the show. She, in fact, goes on to claim that it is Ishaan in real life. Here's everything she said in a recent interview...

The Royals director calls Ishaan Khatter 'hot, young, sexy'

"We were able to showcase him as the hot, young, sexy man that he also is!," Priyanka Ghose, who has helmed The Royals, told Times Now. She prided on being the first series to be able to show Beyond The Clouds actor Ishaan as 'flexing the muscle.'

Priyanka Ghose confirms Ishaan Khatter is who we see in The Royals

Priyanka Ghose confirmed that Ishaan is a swagger and quite confident in real life. She believes that his fashion sense also matches Maharaj Aviraaj Singh. "Being able to look this good and pull off everything with so much swag and attitude — that is something one doesn't see Ishaan do very often. But he is that person in real life. If you see his fashion sense and how he is normally, he is this guy," Ghose shared.
