"Here is a boy whose star is on the rise, yet he made it a point to prioritise my wellbeing. From assisting me down the stairs to my vehicle, to bringing me fresh ginger ale to sip on between takes and conjuring up cushions for the uncomfortable plastic chair I had to sit on during readings, he exhibited the courtesies and grace I thought had become virtues of the past," she further explained.

Aman also praised his immense dedication towards his craft, noting how he learnt horse-riding and dancing skills to embody his royal character. In conclusion, the legendary actress showered the young actor with her blessings for a successful career.  

In addition to this, in her long note, Aman mentioned that the long shoot schedules of 10 to 12-hour workdays leave her exhausted. She stated that "tedious time in the makeup chair, heavy costumes and jewelry," and taxing shoot requirements leave her with swollen ankles and drooping eyes.

However, she expressed happiness about her team being able to pull a "coup." According to her, Maji Sahiba- her character in the show is absolutely entitled, queenly, tart, and intimidating—  just as it was scripted. 

The Royals will release on Netflix on May 9.
