British filmmaker of Indian origin Gurinder Chadha, who is here to shoot a period drama "Viceroy's House", is loving the royal feel of the city, and says she could get used to life as a "maharani".

"Well earned day off by the pool. I could get used to life as a maharani," the "Bend It Like Beckham" director shared on Twitter with an image, in which she's seen posing against the backdrop of a heritage hotel and its swimming pool.

"...happy with all on @ViceroysHouse so far! Feels like my best work to date," she had tweeted in mid-September.
