Plot
In The Royals, Ishaan Khatter steps into the role of Aviraaj, a young prince suddenly thrust into responsibility following the untimely death of his father. As heir to a once-glorious royal estate now burdened with debt and fading grandeur, Aviraaj finds himself at a crossroads—torn between preserving tradition and adapting to the realities of a modern world.
Enter Bhumi Pednekar as Sophia, a spirited and sharp-minded entrepreneur with big dreams and a bold vision. Sophia proposes an ambitious plan: to transform the aging royal palace into a luxury heritage hotel. She believes it’s the perfect way to preserve the estate’s cultural significance while breathing new life—and financial stability—into it.
However, Aviraaj is less than thrilled by the idea. For him, the palace is not just a structure—it’s a legacy, a memory, a symbol of everything his family stood for. What begins as a clash of ideologies quickly spirals into a series of heated debates, witty banter, and emotional confrontations between the old world and the new.
As the two navigate their differences, their interactions gradually give way to mutual respect, deeper understanding, and a budding romance. Their chemistry evolves from conflict to connection, and they must eventually decide whether love can truly bridge the gap between heritage and ambition.
Their story is not just about personal transformation, but also about redefining identity, letting go of the past, and daring to reimagine what the future can look like—together.
