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 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.
