Mumbai, Aug 21 (IANS): B-town BFFs Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, who recently shared the couch on the popular talk show 'Koffee With Karan', are excited to watch the much awaited series 'House of the Dragon'.

The actresses posted a video on their respective social media handles, where they were seen discussing the series. When Janhvi, who is a 'Game of Thrones' fan, went quizzing Sara about the show, Sara replied: "'House of the Dragon' is a new and different show for which watching Game of Thrones is not mandatory."

Sara said she is excited to enter the universe of dragons: "I am really looking forward to 'House of the Dragon'; it is definitely on my bucket list to watch!"

"There's a lot of buzz around it, and I am totally excited. It turns out, one doesn't need to watch 'GOT' before 'HOTD'! George R.R. Martin is a genius, and seeing his vision come to life will be a treat."

She added: "I am already fascinated by all the dragons in this period drama, and I have the perfect partner to watch it with! After going on treks together, sharing the Koffee couch, I am now all set to watch the turbulent battle of the Iron throne with Janhvi exclusively on August 22, 2022."

Janhvi said she was thrilled at the propect of watching the series with Sara: "With the Targaryens at the height of their power with all their dragons, it'll surely be an interesting watch. I don't know if Winter is coming but I do know that Sara is in for a crazy ride," Janhvi said.

Based on George R.R. Martin's book 'Fire and Blood', the 10-episode series is the remarkable yet turbulent story of the House of Targaryen, set 200 years before the events that captivated global audiences in 'Game of Thrones'.

HBO's 'House of the Dragon' will drop on Disney+ Hotstar on August 22.
