Vihaan Samat, who plays Digvijay Singh in the recent series "The Royals," seems to have created a believable bond with Ishaan Khatter, who plays the lead role of Prince Aviraaj Singh. According to a review, Ishaan Khatter, Vihaan Samat, and Kavya Trehan, who plays Divyaranijini Singh, bring a believable, lived-in energy to their scenes as royal siblings. Whether they're sparring with words or throwing punches, their chaotic sibling dynamic feels grounded and oddly endearing, offering a rare glimpse of authenticity.
While there is no direct quote available from Vihaan Samat about feeling like he had a real brother in Ishaan Khatter, reviews of "The Royals" highlight the authentic chemistry between the actors who played the royal siblings. Their interactions are portrayed as a high point of the show, adding depth to the characters and making their relationships more believable.
Some viewers felt that Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar lacked chemistry in "The Royals". Some viewers suggested that Vihaan Samat should have been cast as the lead instead of Ishaan Khatter. Other viewers disagreed, stating that Ishaan and his siblings had good chemistry and were a "saving grace" of the show.
"The Royals" is described as a modern-day Indian fairy tale with all the classic romantic comedy ingredients. However, some critics note that while the series has appealing elements, the chemistry between the leads doesn't quite ignite. Despite this, Vihaan Samat's performance as Digvijay Singh has been singled out as a standout, with many saying he looks perfect for the role and performs with ease.
