Aditya Seal, who plays Humayun to Kunal’s Babur in The Empire, on why he considers the series his breakthrough role
Aditya Seal in The Empire
The Empire transported the audience to the Mughal era, showing them the rise of Babur, played by Kunal Kapoor. While the ever-dependable Shabana Azmi walked away with the lion’s share of praise, all eyes are now on Aditya Seal, who played Humayun in the Disney+ Hotstar series. The actor will presumably headline the next edition, which will be based on Alex Rutherford’s second book in Empire of the Moghul series, Brothers at War.
Seal has effortlessly switched from his role as urbane chocolate boy in Student of the Year 2 to donning a period character. “I did not approach Humayun as the successor to the throne. The show sees him in his younger years, and he is still naive. He eventually becomes more aware of the responsibility on his shoulders. I treated him as a young boy,” he says, pointing out how the fight sequence at the market place displays his naiveté.
