Arguably, one of the most prominent gay personas present in India, Gujarat's own, Prince Mahendra (43) is set to hit UK screens along side Prince Africa Zulu (Zulu, South Africa) and Prince Remigius (Sri Lanka) in BBC3 show - The Undercover Princes.
Set in a snug terrace on Brighton beach, the three princes will be taking everyday jobs, ditching their servants and hoping to find true love.
Hiding the fact that they are loaded and more importantly, royalty, the three singles will hit up clubs, bars, speed dating nights and other venues frequented by the young and free.
Hailing from Rajpipla, Gujarat, Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil has already appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show back in 2007 in the featured show "Gay Around the World."
He was recently cut-off from the family fortune and disowned by his mother for coming out. A little while after he was welcomed back!
The prince is currently one of India's well known gay rights activists and an AIDs awareness campaigners.
Though campaigners have managed to strengthen their plea to decriminalise homosexuality, it still remains illegal under an old British law and a taboo subject throughout Indian society.
Either way, the show looks promising, I just hope this time round, India's export doesn't get involved in any major rows *cough* Shilpa *cough*
Indian's without drama? It's possible...
