Ishaan Khatter REACTS To Being Called Thirst Trap

When asked why he is called the Darling or thirst trap, Ishaan Khatter said, “This is the sweetest way anyone has said it. I don’t know, I mean—you know, I just did what they wrote on a piece of paper and told me to do. You know, consecutively in two shows. I can’t say it. Though obviously, there’s no formula to it. You just—you got your answer. There’s no formula. Literally, it just does. But you know, this… I don’t know.”

Ishaan Khatter Responds To The Royals Being Called The Indian Version Of Bridgeton

Ishaan reacts to The Royals being tagged the Indian version of Bridgeton, “It’s awesome. You know… I have not watched Bridgerton. That’s a confession—it’s a confession! I’m not that illiterate. I know there’s a huge audience for that, and it’s a wonderful space. I’m surprised it hasn’t been explored further before. But I’d like to say, I think we have all the goods for those who are looking for that kind of story. At the same time, we also have a modern twist to it—something for everyone. So hopefully they enjoy the show and find it as bingeable as Bridgerton.”
