Twitter user Niloy Nath commented that he would say the depictions of the Mughals were accurate! They never had any indication that they were actually Mongols.

Another Twitter user named Tincotorius Azuereus doubted the accuracy of the portraits and asked whether they were meant to be historically accurate and consistent with known portraits and descriptions. He further stated that they were more extrapolation than factual.

Twitter user Rishi wrote, ‘Great work, Chandragupta Maurya is my favourite. But loved your recent podcast.”
