“Grateful is an understatement. Being part of The Royals on Netflix has been an unforgettable ride — every scene, every take, every laugh behind the camera. Huge thanks to our visionary directors @picsofpinks and @nupurasthana for steering this ship with such brilliance and heart, and to Netflix for bringing this story to life. Couldn’t have asked for a better cast to share this journey with – what a team. Here’s to the magic behind the scenes,” he wrote in the caption.

The SCREEN review of The Royals claims Pednekar works hard, but the lacklustre writing weighs her and the entire show down. “There’s also the matter of the good-looking leads who have more going on with other people in the cast, than with each other. Khatter had more bite in his small part in the Nicole Kidman starrer The Perfect Couple: here, his shirt is off more than it’s on, and it is all very eye-catching, but all that coupling with Pednekar doesn’t really get as steamy as it should have. She works hard too, but whoever came up with ‘Work Potato’, the name of her company? No, not cute,” it states.
