Dino Morea was seen in the recently released series The Royals, where he played a quirky character named Salauddin, also called Salad. In a recent conversation with Mid-Day, the actor spoke about the thought behind the character’s name and shared his views on how some audiences assumed he could have easily been the dessert.

Dino Morea reveals how his character was named ‘Salad’ in The Royals, also shares the reason behind doing the show

Dino said, “Honestly, I would’ve loved to be dessert! But yes, the name – Salad –  is actually short for Salahuddin. So they just went with ‘Salad’. And I guess, appetizer, setting things up for the next season.”

Dino Morea brought a high-energy approach to his character in The Royals. Explaining what drew him to the role, he shared, “I did the show because I found the character really interesting, especially how he has been written for season two. In season one, he appears in maybe three episodes. But I loved the flamboyance, the quirkiness and the madness. It was short, but I wanted to make an impact – and I think I did. And yes, I believe the character has great scope if developed well in the next season.”

In recent years, Dino Morea has undergone a noticeable shift in image, moving away from his earlier chocolate-boy label to embracing a more fitness-focused lifestyle. Sharing his approach to this change, Dino said, “I’ve always taken care of myself, even as a child playing lots of sports. As I got older, I realised how important health really is. We’re in a visual medium – acting isn’t just about performance, appearance matters too. I make sure I look after myself. Fitness, fun, laughter – that’s my mantra.”

Dino Morea’s portrayal of Salad in The Royals has left audiences curious about what his character will bring in the second season.
