'The Royals' Is Inspired By Real Royal Family Of Jaipur, Other Provinces: Priyanka Ghose

Last Updated: Director Priyanka Ghose, in an exclusive interaction with News18 Showsha, said that despite the inspiration, certain creative liberties were taken in Netflix's The Royals. Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar's The Royals depicts a fictional royal family dealing with debt and drama. Priyanka Ghose, one of the show's directors, had to do a lot of research before bringing this family to Netflix. However, after the show's release, real royal families criticised the show for 'inaccurate' depictions of Indian royals. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, before the criticism, director Priyanka Ghose opened up about meeting Indian royals to draw inspiration for the show. The Royals was extensively shot in the palaces of Jaipur. When asked if the Jaipur royal family was an 'inspiration" behind the show's blue-blooded characters, Priyanka told us, 'Not just Jaipur." She explained, 'I had to do multiple trips of location recce because you can't restrict yourself to one palace. I needed so many different spaces. I needed a full-blown swimming pool, somebody's room, somebody's Darbar Hall, some dining hall. It was impossible to find it all in one place. You have to go around hunting everywhere." Priyanka continued, 'So, I did not just meet the royal family of Jaipur. I ended up meeting the royal families of various places and provinces. I had the privilege of meeting them, interacting with their managerial staff and Heads of Royal Staff- getting to know their day-to-day life." The director said that she tried to do her 'due diligence" by finding the smallest details about the royals and incorporating them into her scenes. She mentioned, 'I noticed the smallest details, like when the staff greet them as 'Hukum', when they just bow their heads. There are times when they are not allowed to speak. There are times when they can address them. All these small nuances and day-to-day rituals are stuff that I researched and learned while I was there." 'It was not just the Jaipur royal family. We met and observed different royal families. But yes, there is a lot of creative and cinematic liberty taken when it comes to, for example, the way one dresses. Not every time will the Maharani be completely decked out in all her finery and diamonds to step into the main courtyard. But in our case, we created Paddy (Sakshi Tanwar) as a character. Automatically, she was somebody who was obsessed with her diamonds and jewellery. So, she would dress up all the time and come out looking like that no matter what," Priyanka concluded. Meanwhile, The Royals has been renewed for a second season on Netflix. The show hasn't started filming yet, but Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar will reprise their roles from the maiden season. The second season will go into production soon. First Published:

Can a toy make you a billionaire overnight? Meet the Chinese CEO who made $1.6 billion in a day thanks to a viral doll

Chinese CEO Wang Ning earned $1.6 billion in a single day as Pop Mart's viral Labubu dolls took the world by storm. Spotted with global celebrities, the mischievous toys sparked shopping frenzies, especially in the U.S. and U.K., where stores saw near-riots. (Facebook/ Agencies) What do a gremlin-faced doll, Blackpink's Lisa, and a near-riot in a London toy store have in common? The answer lies in one mischievous word: Labubu. This quirky, wide-eyed collectible from Chinese toy giant Pop Mart has not only taken over celebrity handbags and social media timelines—it's also added a staggering $1.6 billion to CEO Wang Ning's fortune in just one day. Yes, you read that right. In the era of high-tech IPOs and AI booms, it's a 10-dollar designer toy, sealed in a blind box, that's redefining wealth creation and retail hysteria. With its eccentric, impish smile and collector appeal, the Labubu doll has become the must-have accessory of the year. Spotted dangling from the designer purses of Rihanna, Jamie Chua, and India's very own Ananya Panday, Labubu is more than a toy—it's a statement. But the craze isn't just cosmetic. A BBC report recently highlighted how demand in the UK spiraled so wildly out of control that Pop Mart had to halt in-store sales after physical altercations broke out among eager buyers. The tipping point? Pop Mart's mobile app shot to the top of the U.S. app store, sending the company's shares soaring and instantly swelling Wang Ning's net worth to a jaw-dropping $18.7 billion, according to Forbes . At 38, Wang Ning has transformed from a Zhengzhou University advertising graduate to the architect of a global toy empire. Founded in 2010, Pop Mart didn't start with billion-dollar ambitions—but with blind boxes. These sealed packages conceal which toy you're getting, encouraging fans to keep buying for a full set. What sounds like a gimmick has turned into genius—thanks to psychological appeal and market-savvy execution. Today, Pop Mart collaborates with renowned artists to create collectible series like Molly, Skullpanda, and Dimoo. With half its sales still happening at physical outlets, and the rest through a robust digital and social media ecosystem, the brand has become a powerhouse of pop-cultural obsession, reaching across Asia, Europe, and the United States. Once confined to dusty toy shelves, collectibles have found their renaissance in what The Financial Times calls 'trendy connoisseurship.' Pop Mart has elevated figurine buying into a lifestyle pursuit for China's young, affluent consumers—and the world is catching on. Blind boxes now command second-hand resale values that attract not just fans but investors, with some venture capital firms reportedly dabbling in this curious market. And amid trade tensions and global economic uncertainty, Pop Mart's irresistible charm has proved its resilience, crossing borders with ease and capturing hearts—and wallets—everywhere it goes.
